I am currently in a programming course for BASIC. we have been asked to go to program folder and copy several runtime files then paste into a token file or something like that. problem is i cannot find the program file. control panel, window search, etc all return the application and the 2 file location I found where only short cuts to help,uninstall, etc.
I cannot understand..if you need these files to create distributable and stand alone applications, why isnt this stuff already in front of me in the BASIC menu? is it one time copy/paste to move the stuff over into the App files?

The files you speak of are in the folder you installed Just Basic to.
If you installed to the default folder, by just letting the installer choose, then the files will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Just Basic v2.0
If no, then they are where YOU put them during the install.

JB is a free app, and has limitations regarding the creation of distributable files. If you're looking for something more "do it for you" you could try Liberty Basic or Liberty Basic Pro to create applications, and to make a distributable file. There are also some user apps here on the forums that can automate the making of the application. Have a look in the "Shared Programs" section for BAS<2>EXE or Just Basic Project Organizer. |

There is an even easier solution. Start the ide then create a one line program that says print StartupDir$, now run the program. There is your answer. Watch the capitalisation..
Give us a little more detail when you ask a question next time, just copy and paste the question but also tell us how much you understand and what bit puzzles you.
You can use that StartupDir$ system variable in your program, you don’t need to write it down. It is really the file path to the files you need.
