Sounds like the perfect job for a RB/Valentina combo.

Yes exactly. One application file, and nothing else.

That's one of the great advantages when writing Windows apps with RB: You
got one .exe file, and that's it (except any data files, like your database
file). In some cases, RB apps on Windows need a few DLLs, but these are
already "hidden" inside the .exe file and get installed automatically when
launching the first time, without the user noticing anything. To the user,
(and you, the developer, just the same) it's simply a one-file application.
Cheers,
