I'm at a loss as to how to create a .exe file from a VB.net project. Any hints? Can't find anything in the menus.

When you build application it produces the .exe file. Build from main menu Build > Build app. This also happens when you press the 'play' button on main toolbar to start the app from IDE.

The built/compiled .exe file outputs in accordance to project settings, by default to the projects 'bin\Debug' folder for debug configuration and to 'bin\Release' folder for release configuration. This can be configured from main menu Project > app properties, in Compile tab.
 
First open Solution Explorer and in there, select a project, if u have multiple of it, and then right click on it. It will display you a context menu, then select Build item to create your project.exe.
