Docker Client - standalone (portable) version on Windows

Does Docker support the standalone (version, xcopy installer) version?

I would like to use docker only to create Windows container images (not run containers) in .NET C# code, and I cannot assume that the machine on which code would be run has docker preinstalled, so having portable version bundled with the code would help.

OS: Windows Server

Edit 2: Docker Client is needed only

docker windows .net c#

Windows requires an emulator to run Linux in order to create a Linux container.

To make it portable, use "Portable-VirtualBox" (administrator privileges required) or "Qemu" (slowly) to run the Linux environment.

I don't think the Windows container creation environment can be made portable.
