I tried also the prerelease downloaded a few days ago, when announced,
with the same result.
Now I'm going to check if there's something newer...

Anyway, here's the exact steps which cause the behavior on my machine:

- start a fresh DrRacket;
- open a source file (same behavior with all the ones I tried)
     for example:
        ====
        #lang racket

        (display "hello")
        ====

- trying generating an executable gives the error.
- press ctrl-l to open the ‘chose language’ menu;
- press OK button, without touching anything else;
- now generating executables work.

Cheers
