Can someonw help me with my plan to beta test and submit a game consisting of 2 files created in C++. (.exe and .dat) Do I need an MSI file? I actually don't know what an MSI file is!!! I am new to all of this!!!! I don't understand what signing is? Can someone please help me? Can I just upload the 2 files? A look a the game can be downloaded at http://users.zitomedia.net/~strandedviking
