When I try to generate a standalone program using the the resultant program runs perfectly on the host machine on which it was created. However when it is used on a different machine more often than not most of the media files are not avaiable to the program. The media files (.bmp, .wav & .mid) are in the same folder as the program when compiled. The darkbasic program reads in files using lines such as LOAD SOUND "water.wav",2
The compiled program is transfered via floppy after being zipped using WinZip. I am using v1.13 via darkedit 1.5
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Use Build Final, this will attach the media files to the exe. If you use Make Exe you will need to copy the media files with the exe.

I also noticed sometimes it doensn't work when you make an exe file with the media files included (when you test the exe on another location)...

Thank you everybody who has replied. I have gone through every option except contacting Guy direct. I have decided that after a couple of further tweaks to the program I will ask if someone is willing to have the source files emailed to them, have that person create an .exe, zip the file and email it back to me. I don`t think I`ll be using DarkBasic after that point.
