How to install GIMP for portable usage?
#2
The Windows port of Gimp is very moveable, In the past I have copied the Gimp folder onto a computer (faster than the installer) but it does make a Gimp profile, which you do not want.

You could look at how the portableapps Gimp 2.8 installation is set up with an ini file and try to apply that to Gimp 2.9 The file is GIMPPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\GIMPpportable.ini

There is a Portable Gimp 2.9 for Windows (a monster, 600 MB on disk) which you can get from

direct link http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/GimpEval-2.9.9-Win.7z
That might help you out with your 32 bit question, it comes with separate 32/64 bit versions.

Edit: Just tried this latest version and you might have to use the 32 bit package. 64 bit does not load any icons. 32 bit seems to work ok, bound to be some bugs somewhere. 

I see it has been updated. "Volume de l'archive du 27 février 2018" This is a screenshot, using the previous version. The Gimp profile is the Preferences directory. Try it from an external drive.

Otherwise, best ask one of the Windows Gimp 2.9 maintainers (maybe Partha), none of whom come within a parsec of this forum. (the same applies to the Gimp developers)

Edit No.2 I see Partha does have a Portable Gimp 2.9.8/9 http://www.partha.com - have you tried that one.
