How do I change the .exe file's name? Can it only be the same as the project name?

Thanks!

 

It's in the project settings. Edit > Project Settings > Player, at the top, "Product Name".

You'll want to go through the rest of those settings as well to set the icon, presentation options, etc.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks, that worked! Weird enough, I tried that before and it didn't work. But then, I published it to a different folder and it DID work after that. Then I published to the original folder (after deleting it), and it worked again, too.

 

Request: Could this be a separate setting, as some platforms don't like long filenames and/or special characters, while others accept more (such as space, or ' etc)

 

Please refrain from necroposting

To answer your post - could you clarify what you mean by it being a 'separate setting'? What does it currently do with it being where it is that makes it difficult from a filename persepctive?

 

Project name seems to be both binary filename and the name occurring in taskmanager etc.

 

It seems that the project name is also used as the title name of the window on Windows 10.
It is hard to localize the window title for non-english speakers.

 

As an example:
Project name is "Football IO" with a space so that it is human readable in window title.
I want the binary file to be named "Football_IO.exe" because spaces aren't nice in file paths.

 

Same issue here; I always thought the path is supposed to not have spaces, although I have to wonder whether this really matters in the modern day since most paths already have spaces anyway.

 

It is quite inconvenient that the project name is used universally, such as in the executable file name, the name displayed in the task manager, the folder name, and so on. There should be a separate setting available for each of these elements.
