Do you not need to install.
I use the FPC/Lazarus in an external HD without problems, but you need
to get FPC and Lazarus from SVN (or Git, if you prefer).
I made this tutorial a few months ago, see:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#Compiling.2Finstalling_FPC_and_Lazarus_from_Sources_of_SVN_.28Win32.29

...that is the tutorial I used to "install" FPC/Lazarus in 3 machines
(home, work and external HD to use in any machine).
