MS Visual Basic HELP!?

[chrisalv14]

Hi guys, when i try and save my project it doesnt save as a .exe file so that when i click it it opens as a window instead of the whole software opening up allowing me to just edit my project.

Can someone please help me to save it as a .exe file or the type of file that opens (e.g. like keygens for example). - even though i am not making that type of file but i am using this for education purposes only so thats why i need to know how to save it as that type of file. (executable file) - i want it to open as a window - not the whole software allowing to edit it. I am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition incase anyone asks what version i am using.



Please reply if you know how.
Thanks.

You need to compile it. Search for something like "Build project". Then go to the directory project is stored, exe file should be at foloder Binnaries or something like it . Good luck

Ok thank you mate. I have compiled it and have found and now understand how to save as .exe file.

One more thing, When i save it as a .exe file. when i open it up - it opens on my computer but on my dads laptop or other computers (that dont have visual basic installed) it says "windows have found an error with this file/app , two options i get are "send or dont send".

How do i get it to open on different systems without getting that error or problem?
