AutoHotkey is a powerful automation and scripting tool with an option to export to a self-contained executable. Possible uses include assigning the hotkey "Ctrl-Alt-F" to launch Firefox, making abbreviations expand to their full definition as you type them, or saving time by setting the computer to auto-click a confirmation screen.
The program can create entire applications and has been used to create many hosted here on PortableFreeware including 7plus, WallPaper Randomizer, Gridy and many more.
Note: Though it's bit outdated (from 2021), Pulover's Macro Creator can be used as a macro recorder and includes an "Export to AHK" function.

Stealth: ? | No. By default, it places an ahk script file in user documents. However, if you place a ahk file with the same name alongside the executable (eg. autohotkey.exe => autohotkey.ahk), it becomes stealth. |

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes. It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
The NugGt package is a portable version of Python with support and even basic built-in inclusion of third party tools like the package installer pip.
Alternatively, download the official Python's embedded version (which doesn't natively support any third party tools).
Either of them can be manually added as part of XAMPP.

@ jgermann: Scroll down to the bottom of the download page and use one of the mirror downloads (e.g. USA Rowan.edu). Klick on "HTTP".

According to the website, Portable Python is no longer being developed. It would seem that WinPython (http://winpython.github.io/) is its successor.

I extracted, added path for python, works. But could not use pip. Application says pip.exe not found. How to solve this? |
AutoIt is a BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks or perform user interface testing.
Users new to the program are encouraged to read an introduction (thanks guinness.)
Note: the outdated (from 2012) AutoIt Portable allows you to create a portable environment of SciTE4AutoIt3 and AutoIt together, as well as cleaning AppData and opening the program editor with sample scripts (also thanks to guinness).
A 64 bit version is available (within the folder).

Stealth: ? | No. Every time one compiles a script (at least through SciTE=>Tools=>Build) it creates the folder %LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\ (specifically %LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\Aut2exe) for temp files. But since the files are temporary (only existing during compilation) the folder is at least usually empty. See bug report. You might want to run SciTE through a Program Portabilizer set to delete the aforementioned folder upon exit. |

I downloaded this and the linked portable SciTE4AutoIt3. I put the latter into a subdirectory of this (named SciTE4AutoIt3), and when I run `AutoIt3.exe HelloWorld.au3` from the AutoIt directory, I get a pop-up "It Appears AutoIt Portable was unable to load the SciTEGlobal.properties". How do I configure things? |

@Billo255: that note was implying the "Download" link. We'll have to wait and see if anyone comes up with an alternative URL...

@Midas - Thanks but still confused. I was thinking the note meant that it was being hosted by PFC but the download link goes off into limbo the same way the weblink to the authors site does. (or at least it did when I clicked on it a few days ago).

All those dead links never pointed to TPFC -- you can check the tooltip on mouse over, the explicit linking to TPFC is just a database device to launch the original URL. TPFC usually doesn't host any files... |
