To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build:
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64
Operating system: Win10 1903
32 or 64 bit OS: 64

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

When I make a simple script and try to build it just tells me "Error: No files specified"

You did not include the requested product version.

At any rate, it sounds like you clicked the build button. That includes making an MSI after you packaged an exe. If you have not specified any files for an MSI, it would output that message.

Please let us know what you actually clicked on. A screenshot usually helps.

Yeah I clicked Deploy instead and that produced the desired result. False alarm thanks.
