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!
