With a portable installation, GnuPG is located at "%INST-FOLD%\GnuPG"
and the keys should be at "%INST-FOLD%\Keys" respectively
"%INST-FOLD%\Keys-Backup". Hope, that helps.

Besides, I would say Thunderbird + Enigmail is not platform and
architecture dependent, both are available for nearly all relevant
systems, it should only differ in paths or file/folder-locations. Maybe
you wanted to state that.
