I really skipped some obvious points including:

- you need either to make some kind of GUI and launch it with []DQ '.'
or your executable needs to handle the input and output in some clever
way (I have made batches that start with the executable and some 
parametres, the io is always used via text files); in both cases there
MUST be something sensible in the []LX

- you cannot have/use Session (and that's why you got the error message)

- there are (at least) two ways to make runtime apps: either packaging
the workspace to an executable and delivering it with the runtime dll or
just having the Dyalog runtime interpreter with the []LX'ed workspace
(the former method needs a little bit more work to do, but you get a
'standard' Windows solution with dynamic memory handling, the latter is
more or less straighforward way to do the same thing, but you have to
advise the user to launch it with something like
	[Drive:][path]DyalogRuntime.exe Application.dws

Hmmm..  reading the manual might be a goood idea here?
