pdfTeX

Hi.
Exists any version (distribution) of pdfTeX for Win32 which contains only pdfTeX or has option for install pdfTeX only?
Complete distributions are very large even with minimal installation and contain many components I don't need.
I have tried MiKTeX. I have deleted as many files as possible with view to pdfTeX still functional. I've done it.
"My lite" distribution had 6 MB. Unfortunately I discovered, that MiKTeX needs some records in Windows registry.
I need distribution which is indepedent on registry and system variables.
Can you help me or recommend some other distrib. which fits better to my needs?

Thank you,
Tony
 
I use the emTeX distribution along with AcroDVI (dvipdf). The required files for emTeX are below 3 MB, but AcroDVI uses up to 7 MB (because of Type1 font files). During install there's no change in system registry, in fact, it works even copied from one computer to another.
The only problem is that these distributions are quite old and discontinued. AcroDVI works well with Acrobat (or Acrobat Reader) up to version 4.0.
