Following on from
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-January/105287.html to
clear up a few misconceptions.

I have enough experience with PortableApps to have packaged an app. It just
repackages distributions so, like GnuCash, there is no reason for it to
contain any source code except the scm files for reports. As for support,
the start of the paths has changed to work in different folders. In the
unlikely case there are packaging problems (it has been in use for 20
years) you could view the configuration files yourself but more likely
approach the PortableApps community for support. Otherwise, it is standard
GnuCash.

https://portableapps.com/apps/office/gnucash_portable shows the version is
current. Under the green button: Version 4.13 for Windows, Multilingual. If
you click details Date Updated: 2022-12-24, 5 days after it was released:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/tag/4.13

It is easy to run:
* After downloading and running the installation it will ask for a
Destination Folder, defaulting to D:\PortableApps\GnuCashPortable
* Double-click GnuCashPortable.exe to run it without launching it through
the PortableApps interface.

There are no fees but donations are accepted. The first button links to the
GnuCash donation page, and the second button is to Support
PortableApps.com's development and hosting.
