How to turn your RMXP/RMVX project into a single installable EXE. - Third333Strike - 12-06-2008 During the process of making Fallen Shadows I started to wonder how I could turn my game into a single installable EXE. Most other games use this function, so why not Rpg-Maker games? This will work for both your Rpg Maker XP and Rpg Maker VX games. I use a program called INNO Setup, that does all the work for you. Step 1 - Download INNO Setup Step 2 - Install the software Step 3 - Compress/Encrypt your game Step 4 - Run INNO setup compiler Step 5 - Open a new project, usng the express wizard. Step 6 - Type in the information for your project into the correct boxes. Step 7 - Okay, once you enter that information, the wizard asks you to pick the main exectuable file. For this, use Game.exe file in your projects folder. Step 8 - Directly below this, click the "Add Folder" option, and include the entire folder for your project. Step 9 - The program also adds the option to open a text document up before and after installing. I use this to show information on the game, how to run it, how to play it, and after I show credits on who helped. Step 10 - Now you can pick a custom folder and or the main installations file name, and also a custom Icon for your game. This must be a *.ICO, and be 32x32 pixels. Step 11 - Run the compiler, and you have your game, all wrapped up into one nice and compact exectuable!

Nice tool!
