[Help]Compiler issue

Well, recently I tried to debug my program and run it.

But for some reason, I got this error:

Code:

Unable to start program 'C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Structure of a Program\Debug\Structure of a Program.exe'

The system cannot find the file specified.

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. I searched this error and they said it was a common bug, but gave no fix. Has anyone else had this error?

And yes, sorry, I am a noob when it comes to this. Just started coding not too long ago. :/

Where does it say its a common bug? Seems to me that you're trying to run a program that's non-existent? /:

Well, I was reading the comments here: Visual C++ 2010 Build question/issueⓘ

and it seemed like a common bug.

It's happened to me before.
Just restart VC++ and it should be fixed.

If not, create a new project, and copy and paste the code into the new one

Ugh, I tried that, no dice.

I think I am missing a file, devenv.exe.config.

Can anyone tell me where to find it?

The error is straight forward, It cannot find program.exe, because program.exe probably doesn't exist. If VC++ is the same as the rest of the VS series, it needs to be built/compiled first, then you can debug

It always prompts to build before you debug, which is what I do.

Still doesn't work.

Rebuild your project, and make sure you don't have some magic renaming post process settings

Alright, I'll try that and report back.

Like I said and HD said, it is for sure a compiling issue, I have seen it before in ASP.net 1000 times, and I have been in and out of C++ , either the application isn't compiling credit, or the source is keeping it from compiling.

Ok, We will wait....... /waits

Nope, still no luck.

I even repaired Visual C++ 2010 by running the installer...

I may just have to re-install.

Solution: Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Well, it doesn't even build a code let alone debug.

I will build and it will tell me it succeeded, but no program.

@Void, I will try that.
