Just install it to a PC and then copy the installed folder to a stick

Or my Alternate Installer would work as well - though to be honest, probably quicker to install to a proper drive and then copy it.

This is great, almost too easy, I use your zip and just run rhe install.exe and magically works.  
I also try the latest in github bit could not find any exe files there,  
Cheers
