Normally  the exe can be found in the debug folder  as suggested previously  but not in the release folder  that is disabled by default in my configuration  If you want to activate the release folder  you can do this  BUILD- Batch Build  And activate the  build  checkbox in the release configuration  When you click the build button  the exe with some dependencies will be generated  Now you can copy and use it
