I've finished Chapter 9 in the WME book online and have a splendid working game with no script errors and it does what it's supposed to do :  )  ---I worked hard for it--but how do I compile it to an executable file?  I see the button "Compile".  Is that all there is to it? 

I did hit the Compile button but since I saved once while I was testing the file--I seem to be brought to that point when I start the executable and not to the beginning. 

Thanks for any help.

To set the scene where the game start go to this scene and click with the right mouse button to the .scene file. Then click "Set as startup scene".
Or you can click to "Startup scene" in the left column (under "game settings") and set it there.

And yes, to create the executable you have only to click on "Compile packages"

Probably the start scene was wrong because you set the right scene only for debug. So it work when you play the game from wintermute but not from the executable

Thanks!     Now at the point where I want to share a file and have other people play it--not there yet--but getting there--do I need to use a Windows Installer to create a file.  Do you recommend any particular one?

I use Astrum InstallWizard.
Not too expensive and simple to use.
You can also try NSIS, it is free (I think)

Spyros

Astrum looks very nice. Thanks.

I really like Inno Setup.

Hmm.  Also looks nice and it's free.  Thanks.  :  )
