 The µsoft suggested alternatives are to either use the registry or to use a user specific folder. This is something that I do not want as it almost mandates writing ((or using a 3rd party installation tool)) an installation / de-installation tool. Whereas in the setup that I prefer everything is in one single folder and a deinstallation is as simple as removing a folder. The µsoft suggested alternatives are to either use the registry or to use a user specific folder.

I could hide hide that a bit by zipping the executable, but one would then need to unzip it first.
