Hi

I'm not a coder, and not generally a PC user. I use Automator on a Mac a lot to make actions - FTP, file moving etc.

I want to do the same with Automise... so I've built a set of actions that do all my copying and file-moving things...

&nbsp;

My question is, how to turn this into a standalone application - The 'save' options only make an automatise project, not an .exe or whatever is required?

&nbsp;

cheers

Robbie

Hi Robbie,   
  
 Unfortunately, there’s no way to save an Automise project as a standalone executable. What you can do is download the totally free “Automise Runner” application from the Automise download page, here:   
  
 [http://www.automise.com/automise-downloads.aspx](http://www.automise.com/automise-downloads.aspx)   
  
 You can distribute this application with your project, or provide a link to it, in order to give it to people who don’t have Automise installed.   
  
 Regards,

 PS I’ve moved your post from the ActionStudio forum to the Automise forum. ActionStudio is the tool which comes with Automise to create new custom action types.
