My university here provides TeXnicCenter without compiler. I am unable to install the compiler due to permissions, I am forced to work in Windows environment during classes without traditional *ix tools such as pdflatex. I am now trying to find out a way to get my LaTeX -installations to something like USB-stick or other way without requiring permissions.
I don't have root -computer co cannot get any below methods working. So how can I get LaTeX compiler for Windows without installation due to limited permissions in my university?

I would probably first try Portable MiKTeX. The website for distribution includes instructions on using it, and adds useful options to the context (right-click) menu for the drive you put it on. Configuring with a non-portable editor might be tricky, so I'd go with the TeXworks editor that is bundled with Portable MiKTeX.
If you cannot use the context menu for any reason, you should be fine staring TeXworks 'manually'. It's located in
miktex\bininside your portable installation.
