Where is the executable in VC++

Hi,

I am just learning to use Visual C ++ 2005 Express Edition.

I wrote a simple "Hello World" program which compiles OK, and gives 0
errors, after a little tweaking, it gives:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped
==========

I then try to Debug/Start Debugging, and it asks where the executable
file is located. I have searched all over my computer and can't find
the .exe file for this project.

I check the path set in the options, and it is not there.

Where is the exe located? Is there a setting I need to turn on to
make it produce the exe?

I also want to run the exe outside of VC++ to test it outside of the
debug environment.

Thanks

Roger

Consider subscribing to some of 'microsoft.publ ic.vc.*' forums, then.

We can't answer those questions. This is not a "how to use VC++"
newsgroup. This is a C++ _language_ newsgroup. Please start by
finding the 'Welcome' message and reading it.

Hi, Roger. You'll want to ask on a Microsoft-specific group, since
this one deals only with platform-independent language issues. See
this FAQ for a couple ideas:

In another news group. Probably one of the microsoft.publi c.vc.*
groups that you can easily find on groups.google.c om. Or possibly
one of the groups with windows or win32 or such in their name.

Here we talk about the C++ language, independently of any
implementation. This may mean we occasionally talk about
specific implementation issues with the language, such as
"does compiler <xhave a problem with feature <y>?" But
how to setup your VC++ install is off topic.

<offtopicanswer >
Have you looked for dirs under your project dir with names
like Debug or Release or like that? You should find all your
..obj and so on files in there, as well as your .exe.
Also your precompiled header files, your "just in time debug"
files, and a few other goodies.

Wrong newsgroup.
