This may be dumb, but I can't find aney executable file when exporting my project

Unity Engine

This is my first time using Unity, and I followed a long tutorial to make my very first game. Everything works fine, except when I want to export my game, I get a bunch of files, but no application. This has probably a really dumb solution but I can’t find it.

These are the build settings I use:

If I hit build I can select a folder and this is what’s created:

(Test WEITG is the name of the project)
Now I’m probably missing an obvious thing, but looking through the files I can’t find anything that could run the game.
Thanks for any help to solve this problem, as for now I just can’t export anything and it’s pretty embarrassing

Uncheck the CreateVisualStudioSolution checkmark. When that is on it does not build the executable, but rather dumps out the solution (.sln) so you can build it yourself, after making last minute tweaks. This is probably not a function you need.

This is not the first time this kind of thread has appeared. Unity could do a better job of communicating that this check box means “instead of” as opposed to “in addition to” the regular build executable.

I’ve done it and it worked! Thanks a lot for your help!
