I have not tested it using this kind of setup before.

As for the launcher, it basically sets the $VIM, $HOME and $RUNTIME
path to the paths on the USB stick/portable media. It also fix-up the
drive mappings of viminfo entries before start-up so that it matches
your current drive letter of the USB/stick/portable media. You can
look at the source of the launcher in the Other\Source folder for more
info.

Please try it and comment!
