  My definition of "installing" is clear and unambiguous. Your definition
is rather fuzzy.

  What if it doesn't install DLLs but creates registy keys and configures
environment variables? Is it then installing? What if it doesn't configure
environment variables? Is it still installing? What if it installs DLLs
but doesn't create a registry key?

  But you didn't "drop the binary only a USB flash drive" (whatever that
may mean). You installed it in your system.

I've used thttpd in a number of embedded systems. Seems to do the job well
and is a single executable.

The TclHttpd Starkit distribution includes the server code, the required 
TclLib modules, and a sample document tree in a single file for easy 
deployment. Just run the starkit with the TclKit interpreter. It takes 
all the same command line arguments as bin/httpd.tcl. Using the sdx tool 
that wraps and unwraps Starkits, you can assemble your own custom 
TclHttpd application Starkit.

Now I'm confused! I just tried this at work... and it fails. WTF?

Unfortunately, I can't find a precompiled Windows binary anywhere...
