Perhaps the Samba share could be the portable device that it is running off of?
A scenario would be a 'PortableApp Samba' on a MS Windows host and another 'PortableApp' Samba on a Linux host being run by WINE. The Samba share would be a directory on the USB device or SD card or any other portable device.

I don't think you know what Samba really is or does. First and foremost, it's NOT a Windows app.

Samba is a network program that has windows pcs on a network with a linux pc view the linux pc as a windows pc so that printing and file sharing is possible. It can't really be portable since it's a program that requires specific computer and network knowledge. You can't portably make it possible for a linux pc to be viewed as a windows pc. If the two pc's are on the network, they would have samba anyway.

You are correct.
I samba at work everyday
But, as my SysAdmins like to point out when I complain about it, it's not a "program" it's a "service"
