Does the Anaconda installer install things outside of the Anaconda directory?

I'm writing a program in C++ and have successfully implemented Python code in my C++ program. I'm trying to package my software as an exe and dlls to hide source code from my customers.

My program (in exe/dll format) works when I have Anaconda installed, but not when I manually place the necessary files where they would normally be installed (by creating my own Anaconda folder and putting the DLLs and Libs folder there). The PATH variables are constant for both. Are there supplemental things that the Anaconda installer does, like install additional dependencies? I do not want to make my customers install Anaconda to make my package work.

Basically, what do I need to include in my software package to make it stand alone?
