Once your project is created, you can compile your screensaver in order to be installed on the end-user computer. The file that will be created will be compatible with Windows screen savers (.SCR). When compiled, you'll be able to use it personally on your computer or to distribute it as is. No install procedure will be created.
IMPORTANT: Once created, the SCR file can't be modified or decompiled. We recommend you to save your project to a SSP file before compiling it. Don't loose your SSP file!

Choose Project/Compile a Screen Saver
File (F4) or click on the Compile
SCR File button in the toolbar. A dialog box opens (see below).

the Screen Saver Filename and Location

the folder where you want to create the file. If you want to redistribute
this SCR file, specify your output folder. You must type a folder full
pathname here. If you want to use this screensaver on your computer only,
do not modify the proposed entry (see below).
3. If you check
the "Place it in my personal Windows
System folder" option (
), it allows to specify
the Windows® System folder as the destination location. In such a case,
the screensaver will be visible in Windows® screensaver settings list
