I have finally finished coding my game. I try making it into an EXE file but nothing ever works. I get an EXE file but it doesnt even open and DBPRO wont load the game when I add in media. Yes I have the exe in my media folder as well as the sounds. It works fine in debug mode. Everything is fine except when i try to make it as an excutable file and try running it on the same computer.

Does the system require admin login to install software?

Try running DBP as admin...

No it doesnt need admin. I tried it on a computer with more rights and it ran the program. But when I switched to a different computer it told me that it was missing a bitmap when it wasnt.

Are you using relative paths?

LOAD IMAGE "FILE.BMP" OR ".\FILE.BMP"

Line 6.



If you try to run your EXE on another computer, of course that folder doesn't exist. Not every computer has the folder "V:\Student Folders\156907\MyProj\example\media\".

Change the line to a relative file name:
