How come the exe file disappears when my friend tries to run a build of my project?

I built my Unity project to show a friend what I had so far. When he tries to double click the exe - the exe file disappears but the asset folder stays and Windows gives him the message:

“Windows cannot find ‘C:.…\TestOne.exe’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.”

I put the game on my labtop to see if it would work on a different computer, and it did. But both computers that I tried running it on have Unity installed. Hopefully that doesn’t matter though. (I built it as x86, just to be sure that it would work, it doesn’t)

What is the problem? How come the exe file disappears?

The anti-virus software in your friend’s system is deleting that exe file. Try to disable anti-virus for some time (even though unrecommended unless you are sure that nothing else will attack your system while anti-virus is disabled) and check again.
