For the exes to run, they require the IronPython runtime (IronPython.dll and IronMath.dll). Since we do not install those into the Global Assembly Cache, running the stand-alone exe in the directory that doesn't contain Iron*.dll will fail with the message you are seeing.
At this time, generating the exes is more a by-product of IronPython execution rather than full-blown compilation into independent executables. Doing the latter, though, is on our to-do list. It is still a question whether we will get to it before 1.0 release or not. I hope this answers your question Martin ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramdas S Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 8:27 AM To: users-ironpython.com@lists.ironpython.com Subject: [IronPython] EXE problem This may be an elementary problem.
