SBCL executable for Windows

[Antsan]

Is there an up-to-date distribution of SBCL for Windows that is not an installer
available somewhere? I want to use SBCL on a Windows computer where I have no
administration rights, so I cannot install stuff.

Is there at least a way to install it as not system-wide so I don't need administrator privileges in the first place?

Lispstick to the rescue: http://www.iqool.de/lispstick.html In the page
they say the files don't spread into your hard disk, you can put it
into an usb or any other place, so it seems you don't need
administrative rights. You have to change the default installation
directory, just follow the instructions.

Disclaimer: I haven't used it. It contains slime, sbcl and quicklisp.

I don't usually work on Windows. I just want to compile an executable for Windows on SBCL and most of the time have only access to Windows machines without administrator privileges.
I do my development on Linux.

There's an official SBCL distribution for Windows already. It's on their official site, but needs to be installed, which, for Windows, means that you need to be admin.

you could probably find a tool that will let you unpack the installer and take out the binaries, to at least get you started.

I wonder if you could accomplish the same thing installing SBCL under
Wine on Linux?

I haven't tried with wine (good idea actually) but I haven't had any
issue with setting up an SBCL environment on an installed machine,
running an (sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die :executable t) and distributing the
resulting .exe to various other machines (which are then capable of
running the exe to have a full SBCL environment sans standard
installation).

Another idea:

Surely you must know someone with a Windows machine and administrative privileges. Install on that machine, copy the installation directory to a flash drive, and copy that to someplace unprivileged on your restricted machine. I believe sbcl will run successfully that way, but haven't tested. You will need to invoke the executable with a full path, or adjust your path variable (if you are allowed to do that).
