That may not work as you'd hope. I think the install puts
some files into system libraries as well as the "install
directory". But I may be wrong. I know there are "Python
on a USB stick" distributions on the web.

I suspect the interpreter started, ran your script then
stopped and closed before you could see it.

Try adding the line

input("Hit enter to close...")

at the end and see if anything appears.

If not start a CMD prompt and  run the script manually:

C:\WINDOWS> py myscript.py

And see if you get any error messages.
