Standalone CPU burn-in software

I am looking for a simple standalone EXE that will run a CPU at maximum. I don't want anything that has an installer, I don't want something that can't push a P4 2.4 GHz to the limits, I just need a simple EXE that I can stick on the network so I can access it from wherever. I haven't been able to find anything that meets this simple requirements. TIA.

Could kill two birds with one stone:

McAfee AVERT Stinger

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

I downloaded that and it didn't get my P4 above 20%. Plus, it won't run until I stop it. I need something that will stress the CPU until it crashes or I stop it from running. BOINC works just great at getting 100% CPU use, but it has an installer.

The console version of Folding @ home doesn't install, it just runs. You could probably make it work with the -local command... have a look at it
