forming .exe files on windows

[darm88]

I follow the instructions to create an .exe file but I keep getting an error saying access is denied when I entered it in

this is what happens in the command prompt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Users\David Armendariz>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\LOVE

C:\Program Files (x86)\LOVE>copy /b love.exe+pong.love pong.exe
love.exe
Access is denied.
0 file(s) copied.

C:\Program Files (x86)\LOVE>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
the user is a standard users and not admin. I switched over to admin and tried it there but i still got the same response.

Did you run command prompt itself as an administrator?
I'm an administrator on my computer but I have to right-click Command Promt > Run As Administrator for it to work.

Try to make a new folder outside the “program files” folder, and put both love.exe and pong.love in there, I would also sugest to make a .bat file with the command:

Code: Select all

copy /b love.exe+pong.love pong.exe 

and also put it in that folder (you write the command once and execute it as many times as you want by dubleclicking it)
