    So sad. So many people saying "don't" and "can't" and "impossible" They need to watch a few more episodes of McGyver and A-Team. Sheesh. Nothing is impossible, unless you give up after not finding a menu option for it in Visual Studio.

    TideSDK is where I'd start.

    There's a development environment called Titanium which originally could make exe files, It has great documentation, but they may have dropped that feature for lack of interest.

    Also, search for "node-webkit"

    Also, if all of your users are on windows, and you don't need it to be a compiled exe, it can be as simple as renaming the extension from html to hta. Search "microsoft hta" Hta files use Internet explorer to open, but the user wouldn't know, it runs like a separate app and has some configuration for the titlebar and icon, etc.

    ^^^ Construct 2 can convert HTML5 code to an .exe, so if the OP wanted to consider HTML5 then there is an option.
