According to
:help VIMRUNTIME
:help VIM
setting $VIM would be a better choice than setting $VIMRUNTIME.
Further, ":help VIM" says that on Windows, "Vim tries to use the
directory name of the executable" to find VIM. So depending on how
Dmitriy intends to invoke the vim on his USB key, it may not be
necessary to set $VIM or $VIMRUNTIME at all.
