I would like to build a standalone application (.exe) with the message to Max on Windows (10). So I found in the documentation the message "; max buildcollective".

In the following example I can build it but it open a box to choose the path and the format (xmf or exe) :

If I want to directly create the application I have to mention the path and the format in the message to Max :

; max buildcollective thefile mypath/thefile.exe

It creates the exe file correctly with the usual traces on Max Console : "Starting Build for thefile.exe...", "Copying..." .... and "Finished script."

The problem is that the resource folder and the mxf are not next to the exe file, they are somewhere but I didn't found them.

So does anyone tried this before? It seems to be an old issue:
