You need the LuxPose folder from the zip file. That has all the scripts and data that the program uses.

The installation creates the exe, swf, mimetype, and META-INF files and folders from the LuxPose.air file. That is the actual program, unpacked and assembled for running in Windows.

Which explains why it has to be "installed". I don't produce a windows app. I produce an AIR app, and the AIR installer creates a Windows version of it because you're on Windows. On a Mac, it would not create a LuxPose.exe file. It would create a Mac executable instead.

Interestingly...

I found out that after I copy out the resulting program EXE and related files and folders, and uninstall the whole app, I can still run it. Once it has been turned into a Windows app, it doesn't require any registration.

If, however, I was making the kind of application that is associated with a particular file type (allowing you to double-click such files), then uninstalling it would break that association. But this is not that type of app.
