I dont want to use a .dat container

Im aware that it isnt recommended to use large .exe files for various reasons, but I want to keep things as simple as possible with an .exe and the folder it makes upon first launch of the program. Im using thinapp more for portability, but mainly to keep things free of installing and populating the registry and having files scattered everywhere.

Right now Im trying to pack a game into a large exe, but I dont get the option to use an exe. Is there a reason why and can I change it?

However, you can still try changing the .dat in package.ini to .exe and rebuild the ThinApp.

Make sure Shortcut= and ReadOnlyData= should not present together under the primary data container(EXE). You can remove shortcut= from the EXE section.
