Export an EXE File

Export the EXE file of your application from your dashboard.

The EXE file is the executable file of your application on Windows. It allows you to install an application on a Windows device (PC…). EXE files created with PandaSuite are automatically signed with an EV (Extended Validation) Code Signing certificate, which provides a higher level of validation and security than standard code signing certificates.

How to Export an EXE File

  • Connect to your dashboard, go to Apps.
  • Create an app or select an existing one.
  • Go to the Windows / MacOS section and click Generate Windows App.
Generate Windows App button in the dashboard

Fill in the form:

EXE export configuration form
  • Icon: minimum 256 x 256 px
  • Name: the name of your application
  • Asset management (offline): enable to bundle all assets inside the EXE for a fully standalone offline app. Requires a Yearly or One-Time Payment plan. With this option enabled, updates require re-exporting and re-installing the app.
  • Menu bar: choose whether to display the menu bar
  • Architecture: choose between x64 (64-bit, recommended for most modern PCs), x86 (32-bit), or ARM (64-bit)
  • Installation method: choose whether to install the app for all users of the device
  • Installation directory: choose whether to allow users to change the installation directory
  • Launch method: enable full-screen launch. Note that some keyboard shortcuts that allow users to exit the app will be disabled.
  • Version number and build: we recommend using 1.0.0 and 1 for the first version of your application.

Click the Validate button. The EXE typically takes less than 2 hours to generate. You will receive an email when it is ready, and you can also find it in the Windows / Mac tab of your dashboard.

If you don’t receive the email, check your spam folder or visit the Windows / MacOS tab in your dashboard to check the generation status. Contact support if the issue persists.
