Running gVim on a USB Drive

Question

How could I run gVim on a USB drive (I can't install software on the computer) preferably I'd like to load it on the USB drive with a mac (so I can't install an exe - but I could use a pc) and also how could I load my .vimrc file on drive and gVim use it?

Answer 1

It's unclear what OS this is for. If it's for Windows you should be able to copy the entire install directory from a machine you can install to—or from a machine that already has it installed—onto the USB drive and run it from there. Vim will look for a vimrc file in the same directory as the Vim executable.

See ":help $VIM" and ":help vimrc".
