I have been using portableapps installer to create installers for various programs. All it does is create the app info and copies that and the exe to the flashdrive. I have installed numerous programs which require extra dll's to run. I hav copied them into the folder manually and it works then. I want to know if their is a way to add the extra files to the installer so that I do not have to continually manually copy the extra files into the portable app folder

the installer is not like a zip file... all your files are turned into one file and are compressed to the max.
sorry!
No offense, but it sounds like you're not doing the packaging process correctly.
If your app is properly prepared for packaging, the PortableApps Installer will automatically bundle the necessary DLL files, saving you the trouble of copying them manually.
How are you preparing your app for packaging?
