When I try to build a standalone executable from the caverunner tutorial, it doesn't successfully place the executable in the folder. I go to the caverun folder as it instructs, but the executable is not inside. I'm using Vista Home Premium. Any ideas?

on the right side of your IDE (or the left, depending on the editor u are using) is a project overview. and on the bottom of that overview are buttons. if you click on the third from left, you can change the file it is compiled to. answers this your question?

I know for a fact that it's building into the caverun folder. But for example, I'll name the file Tradd, and when I go to the caverun folder, it's not in there. I've tried building it into several other folders as well, with the same result. The program says that it saved successfully, but I don't know how to create the standalone executable file outside the program.

It seems that the only thing that gets created is the caverun.dba file, which I can't open without some special file opener. No .exe file gets created, only this .dba file. Something's getting left out, unless it's my computer failing to do something important.

i don't think you have made a project first.

It's saving the exe to your temp folder.

What do you mean? I loaded the caverun.dba file from the fast track tutorial, compiled it, executed it, then built it. What am I not doing?

Try quitting DBPro and right click on the application and run it as an Administrator.

Vista has a stupid security block that keeps unauthorized programs from writing to Program Files (Where projects are by default)
Of course, if the project in not in C:\Program Files\, then disregard my suggestion
