Errr... Why? Portable instances function in exactly the same way as an installed instance, except that any registry entries or files left on the local PC are moved to the portable drive after AC closes by a "launcher" program. In effect, it's a sandbox of sorts but a lot less hassle. Using a real sandbox seems like a helluva lot of extra work to me without much (any?) added benefit.
Anyway, I'm not suggesting this IS how this trickery is perpetrated, to be honest, it doesn't even make sense that it would work but you never know.
