ImageMagick on Windows without installation

The Windows PC I am working on does not allow me to install ImageMagick directly.

I have tried to install the program on another computer and copy the program folder, but this apparently makes it lose all its decoding libraries: While it worked on the computer where it was properly installed, the copied version complains about missing "decode delegates" and shows an empty list on "identify -list format".

Is there any way I can run the program on a Windows PC without going through the (admin-requiring) installation process? Perhaps some kind of "portable" download that simply needs to be extracted to work? Thanks.

For the record, I never solved this. Eventually I got our sysadmin to install it for me. A portable version would be very, very welcome - and I mean binaries, because these locked-down systems usually lack a compiler too.

It would be vary hard as IM uses a lot of seconary libraries.
