stand-alone exe

[join]

Hi there!
well, some days ago i where just thinking of really make my programs. (compile them)
but when i did so, i had to have the map with it 2.

so now im wondering, is there some way i can make be a stand-alone exe so i don´t need the damn map?

eehm, ok, instead of alot of files putted into a map to be able to run the program, i just want it to need the program itself, witout any other files. hope that made you understand

[Mitron]

eehm, thx but... wasn´t what i where looking for, i just want 1 damn .exe file, instead of an install for the program -.-, how fu**ing retarded can microsoft be and think ppl WANTS to install programs?

Well I dont know if its that but is it because you can't find out how to compile if its that I just make a little guide here:
1. Click on build in visual basic 2008
2. Then click build (YOUR PROJECT NAME)
3. Its should now be builed
4. Now open documents
5. Click on the folder Visual Basic 2008
6. Now click on the folder Projects
7. Find your Project
8. Click on it and then click on the folder "bin" then "release"
9. There are your 1 exe file !

P.S some people think that they need all the files in the "release" folder but you only need the exe file !

What comon said XD Alternatively, you can hit the play button to go debug, close the program, then it's in Projects -> PROJECTNAMEHERE -> bin -> debug.
