There isn't an explicit portable build, however if you take the contents of the installation directory (e.g. C:/Program Files/Power Tab Editor/... you should be able to copy that and run it on another system A couple things to note would be:

The other system would need the Visual C++ runtime installed (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170), although often another program may have installed that already
The preferences are saved under the AppData folder in your home directory, so this isn't portable
