Apps in PortableApps.com Format aren't permitted to include bundleware. uTorrent's "installer" feature is bypassed in uTorrent Portable, so it can't be installed and you'd never even be presented an option whether to install it or not.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
