Dioselin, If there is nothing too complicated, the AG packager will do. Through specifying the files in the .app file, any file can get placed with the other files necessary for the shared application to operate correctly (although I do not think that you can make directories in the base directory where the shared app files go). Here are some links to presentation/documentation on packaging shared applications:

There could be two extremes for handling this case. One option could involve writing a batch script that takes directory names as parameters that will be used in the script to move files to the proper locations. Another option would be to find some sort of packager that will distribute your code and formally install it (not cross-platform dependent, but often very Windows-specific). One *free* packager that ANL used for Windows packaging was Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php).
