You must have the GOLD license to create an executable version of your program that can be run by users who do not have the Liberty BASIC language and development tools installed on their computers.
You must first create a tokenized version of your code. In the helpfile, see Liberty BASIC Help -> Creating a Tokenized File
Once you have a TKN of your program, you must then copy support files, including the runtime engine, for use with the TKN. To do this, see the helpfile, Liberty BASIC Help -> Using the Runtime Engine.
An easy way.
Liberty BASIC v4.03 includes a feature that allows you to create your application with the click of a button. See the helpfile, Liberty BASIC Help -> Creating an Application This method will create the tkn file, then copy all the required DLL's, SLL's, and a renamed run engine to the designated folder. Create an Application requires that you then manually copy any extra files, such as data files, text files, or bitmap files, and paste them into your program's folder.
Troubleshooting: Starting Liberty BASIC from a desktop shortcut or by doubleclicking on a .bas file can confuse Liberty BASIC about the location it should be writing files. This can cause an error when trying to create an application. If you get an error when creating an application (e.g. OS Error: The system cannot find the file specified), make sure you are launching Liberty BASIC from the Start menu.
The easiest way!
Use the Assist tools to allow you to deploy a project easily. Assist allows you to specify addional resource files for your project, including subdirectories in your program folder. Once you've set up your resources, you can deploy your project with a single click. The needed support files will be copied to your deployment folder, files will be renamed as needed, and you can even specify a program icon to be embedded in the runtime engine.
