Compile to EXE

[Bob Ross]

I have made a small windows application in Visual Studio 2005. I now want to compile it into an .exe file so it can run standalone but I cannot work out how to do this. I can publish it, which creates an installer but this is not what I want.
I just want to be able to run it as a single exe file.
Any ideas?

Hi Bob,

Do you not have the build option under the Build menu? This should create your .exe file in the bin\release folder.

How silly of me.
Of course that is how you do it.

Sorry. This is my first time making a windows application.

No problem Bob. Glad to help.
