I would express Tony's answer slightly differently:
- Do NOT read anything talking about "vi" or ".exrc"
(it is totally obsolete and not helpful).
- On Windows, use file _vimrc (usually called "vimrc"
when people are writing about it).

Your question is really to be answered by portable gvim folks
and I can almost guarantee that it is mentioned prominently in
its documentation.

Or, put the following into Google:
gvim portable vimrc
