Is there a non-installable version of Fiddler, or equivalent? [closed]

One of my clients is currently waiting for his IT department to install Fiddler on his desktop so that he can debug his web application... Apparently his desktop requires IT Admin rights to install anything.

Is there a non-installable version of Fiddler, i.e. a standalone exe (additional files ok) or an equivalent program that can be run off a thumbdrive or a local folder?

In fact, Fiddler Classic does not need to be installed:

  • Download Fiddler Classic setup (ie. FiddlerSetup.exe)
  • Open it with your Archive Manager (ie. 7-Zip)
  • Open $PLUGINSDIR folder
  • Open the contained FiddlerSetup.exe (yes again) in your Archive Manager

FiddlerSetup.exe opened in 7-Zip (again)

  • Extract the files in a folder
  • Run Fiddler.exe

FiddlerSetup.exe opened in 7-Zip


For Fiddler Everywhere, it is almost the same

  • Download Fiddler Everywhere (ie. Fiddler Everywhere 1.0.1.exe)
  • Open it with your Archive Manager (ie. 7-Zip)
  • Open $PLUGINSDIR folder
  • Open the contained app-64.7z file in your Archive Manager

Fiddler Everywhere 1.0.1.exe content

app-64.7z contained in archive

  • Extract the files in a folder
  • Run Fiddler Everywhere.exe
