Weeeell, there's no need to "install" anything at all.  While both
X2GoClient and PuTTY come with installers, you can also just copy all
the files to a directory of your choice (say, a network share) and
start them from there.

You could, for example, install X2GoClient on a test machine, then copy
the contents of C:\Program Files\x2goclient (or whatever you picked as
destination) to a network share, say, \\server\share\x2goclient, drop
pageant.exe from PuTTY in there as well, and add a little batch file
that runs pageant, adds the key, waits a few seconds, then runs
x2goclient.

That way, all you have to roll out is a shortcut (*.lnk) file pointing
to the batch file on \\server\share\x2goclient.  No client-side
installation at all.

Of course, you could also try to use %userprofile% in the ssh keyfile
path within the session config, but I've never tried if that works as
intended, so no promises.
