Regression

Yes

When building the game for Windows, the .exe takes the file name of the folder you save in, instead of the given "Product Name"

Windows

-

To reproduce:

1. Build a new project
2. Observe that the .exe file's name is the same as the folder the .exe is in

Expected: Product Name, set in Player settings, should be used as the name of the executable. Alternatively, there should be a way to specify the name of the .exe file prior to building.

Reproduced in 2018.1.0b8, 2018.1.0b13, 2018.2.0a8
Did not reproduce in earlier versions, when building you were asked to specify the name of the .exe instead of the folder and thus there wasn't a problem with .exe taking the name of the folder

    This issue is said to be fixed in 2018.2 but it's not.

    The issue happens in 2018.2.13f1:
    - building the project asks a destination where to save the built project,
    - naming the executable is not possible,
    - the executable takes the name of the project.

    Currently not working for me, build is still being called folder name (ver 2018.1.5f1)
    Naming errors occur in WebGL builds also.....

    Reproduced in 2018.1.6f1. Didn't realize this was already reported when I made a duplicate bug....

    This worked fine in 5.1.2, 5.2.3, 5.6.2, 5.6.3p1 and 5.6.3p1 (those are the projects I have on disk and can verify with).
