SUMMARY

This article describes how to publish your project to a single-file executable.

DISCUSSION

Once you have finished creating your application, AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 offers the option to publish your project to a single executable. When the user runs this file, it extracts the contents to a temp directory and launches your application. When your application is exited, the temp directory and contents are deleted.

To bundle your project into one executable file:

1. Choose Project > Publish from the menu.
   
   
2. Select single-file executable.
   
   
3. Click Next.
   
   
4. Enter the desired path and filename.
   
   
5. Click Build.

Please note that selecting the password protect option does not affect how the user runs your program. The password protect option generates a random password preventing the user from uncompressing the executable file and gaining access to your raw files.
