Question about stand alone executables

Greetings, Mortals. I am the mighty WERDNA(Lord of Darkness\Dorkness) I have a question about making stand alone executables. When you turn your program into an executable, do you still need all the images\source code\music and any other files that you used in your game, in the same folder as the executable? or do you just need the executable? Please answer my question as soon as possible. for although the Mighty WERDNA has almost god like powers, I am a total noob when it comes to Blitz 3D. Thanks mortals, The Mighty WERDNA(Lord of Darkness\Dorkness)

You need it in the same folder as everything. The only differences of making a executable file are: 1. The source code isn't visible; 2. You don't need a compiler to run it; and 3. You don't need to compile it every time to run it. It still needs to be located just as your source code is located.

another elemental difference is that you need to put all DLLs of Userlibs you used in the executables folder or it will crash

Thank you Dreamora! I had been looking for an answer to that question. Trial and error woud have found that out but nice to have it stated.
