Guest Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Just click "File > Make whatever.exe". That's how you compile an .exe. Publishing simply makes a package with your DLLs and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No no. You save it as an .exe. Don't click "all files". Leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Or just save the .vbp and right click the icon and press Compile. It will compile in the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
