This may sound noobish but,

When I try to make an .exe of my game using Building Distribution I get this:

Just hit "Enter." The *.exe and everything will be in the newly-created directory.

Don't they mean an Installer?

Never tried one yet, but I think it's third-party.

Yeah, to create a .exe installer, first you need to progress through the dialog you posted (press Enter and click OK until the progress bar appears, then wait half an hour); then you need to use a third party installer creation program, such as NSIS. A couple of pages describing what to do are here:

I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!
