Windows YYC Package as Zip - no included DLL?

Hey all. So I'm new to building with Studio 2.0. When I compile with for Windows with YYC and choose package as zip, the zip contains nothing but the exe. My project has no sound/music files yet, which I'm assuming is why there's no data file. However, there's no DX DLL and no ini... I'm wondering, if I were to package a game like this, would I need to manually include files and, if so, what files would those be? Thanks for your help!

I have checked the manual and also googled this, but could only find info on studio 1.x which wasn't helpful. If I've missed something, feel free to call me out on it.

Perhaps this is something new in gms2. Also considering it now uses a newer version of directx, it might be made differently.

No, DirectX 10 and up is part of the OS now, so everyone has it and it's upgraded with windows updates. You no longer need to ship DX DLLs with it.
Any included file will be ....well.... included.

I think technically...Vista and up. We dropped DX9 which was XP and up. Vista can do DX11 - although its a separate download I think.
DX11 is definitely there already on Win7 and up.
