portable-apps, I've looked at it briefly and see that it includes java -

by maning sambale, all are already there and widely used except for

for my own use so I will see that I find some time over the weekend. The
others shouldnt be a problem as they are all open source and thus
redistributable if Firefox is used as the internet browser and Sumatra
pdf as the pdf reader.
