No, not for any meaningful value of the word 'installed'. If you want to run R, you need the R interpreter and all the functions and stuff it carries around with it.Maybe you could bundle this all up into one monster executable, but why bother? R install is easy and portable (stick it anywhere, it runs). Even probably a network share. Oh, you didn't say what OS you were using. Did you read the posting guide? Also, this has been asked before. Did you search the mailing lists? I've noticed a lot of financial corporates getting into R and getting free help from R-help. From now on, I'm charging $50 per email to answer questions from anyone advertising as a 'quant'. Who do I invoice?
