Saves doesn't work in my compiled game

[NeoShima]

I have made a Single Executable of my game with Enigma Virtual Box and now the "save" feature just doesn't work in my game. I'm close to release, pls, help me! How can I fix this?

Where is it installed? Where is it saving to?

I'm using Yanfly's Save Core. So I guess it saves in www/save. I have a Single Executable. It contains all the files inside it.
About where it is installed, I have a game installer and user can choose where you want to install a game.

Where do YOU have it installed?

If you install it to Program Files or any other Windows-owned folder, you won't have permission to write, so saves will not work.

Ohhhh, that's what are you talking about! Yeah, I installed it in C://ProgramFiles(x86)

Right now, I have installed my game on this path: "C:/ShimaProd(This is my organization name)" and when I enter the game I still can't save! What I did wrong?

Make an empty www folder in the SAME directory as the .exe and then inside that www folder, make an empty folder named save. Now it should work.

Thanks. It works, but now I don't know how to install these 2 folders with the installer. Which tool you can advise for creating an installer?

I only 'released' one game XD For the no travel game jam. Didn't use an installer, just made a zip file of them all. But yes, an installer feels more professional
I searched a little. This looks like something normal non-coder people can do:
