Visual Studio 2008 Error

I am new to programming and my first assignment is to write the hello world code. However, I wrote the code, which is:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{

cout <<"Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}

However, I keep getting errors afterI go to start without debugging. I never get the message box, it just give me a error telling me that "the system cannot find the file or path specified. I am saving it to a folder on my desktop.

What am I doing wrong? I dont understand, I have went through several books and they all say the same thing and I rewrite my codes and still come out with the same error message which is:
1>------ Build started: Project: hello5, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

1>Embedding manifest...

1>.\Debug\hello5.exe.intermediate.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.

1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\dj000034880\Desktop\Computer Science\hello5\hello5\Debug\BuildLog.htm"

1>hello5 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

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



.

Help, Help, Please Help....

Your .exe does not exist. Have you done a build on your project to create it?
