Thanks. Is that how this normally works when trying to make a portable thing? I just copy the necessary files and zip them together with the exe? I guess I see that a lot when unzipping portable versions of programs. There's always a number of files that unzip into the folder along with the executable.

Is there any way to get a list of all the extra files an executable needs?

What about those programs where all you download is an executable, and then the first time you run it, it places files in the folder the executable is in, or it has some kind of popup like the portable apps site that installs a portable executable into the folder of your choosing. How do those work?
