DL - http://truehumandesign.se/download/diffinity.exe ~ 345 KB

Extract Diffinity.exe and SyntaxHighlighting folder

Requires dotnet 4 (i think), but may be higher (4.5 ?), but there is XP in reqs, so :?:
Can't test it because of some problems with dotnet, but as you can see in first screenshot, there "Save settings file in application folder" in "Preferences", so may be it's stealth
Needs more testings

@billon

Excellent find, thank you. I tested Diffinity- it is portable and seems stealth too, settings saved in diffinity.cfg and Diffinity.startup-profile files inside program folder, confirmation is welcome. Files can be dragged and dropped into the two panes which is faster and handier than "Open" dialogs. I have not tested "Windows Explorer shell integration".

It's not stealth for me.
