Let me see if I've got this straight

I'm very new to this, but I seem to have surmised a few things about RF, please correct me if I'm wrong here...
1) Each installation of RF is essentially its own game. So, if I'd like to work on a different game, I need a completely separate installation of RF off in another directory somewhere.
2) If I'd like to distribute my game (once I'm finished) I'll need to send off that entire installation, minus the editors - will I be able to change the name and icon of RealityFactory.exe to reflect my own game?
Now that I think about it, this does kinda make more sense than having a whole integrated IDE with subdirectories being games - makes it a heck of a lot easier to distribute, since it's just a modification of what we download here. But is there an option to have the computer package everything up, like a "Make the game distributable" option?
Granted, I'm still quite new at this and haven't even started building maps, but I like to plan ahead
