Use file(GLOB ...)?

file(GLOB MY_DLL_FILES ${MY_DIRECTORY}/*.dll)
install(FILES ${MY_DLL_FILES} DESTINATION bin)

Either that or you can list them manually if there are only a few of them
after you call FIND_PACKAGE which is often what we do.  Append them all to a
list and then call install() at the tail end of your CMakeLists.
