I downloaded the version I found on SourceForge: gerbv-win-static_20160713.zip
It extracted to one file: gerbv.exe that runs the software using standard
account (no admin access)
There was no visible installation process, running gerbv.exe opened the
software read to view files.
No init.scm file was created anywhere.
I just tried it using my admin account with the same result, no init.scm file
was created.
Sergy: Thanks for letting me know that a portable version exists. That should
work well. I can tell the people I support where to get the files and it
should be complete.

I'm on Windows. Just to be complete, I see init.scm in these two
directories:
C:\msys64\mingw32\share\gerbv\scheme
C:\msys64\mingw64\share\gerbv\scheme
The actual directory will depend on whether gerbv was built for 32 bits or 64.
