The "out of date" occurs if any of the files in your project were opened by the editor or if you made changes to the project configuration, like adding or removing files.

The "there were build errors" means your project was not cottect and that it is not possible to create your executable program.

I suspect you built your program and there were errors so there was no executable program created. Then you push F5 and Visual Studio can't find the executable program so it produces the "project out of date" to tell you something is wrong. When you answer "yes", the "cannot find the file specified" refers to your missing program file (the .exe).

Try creating a new project in your C++ environment. Like Weaknessforcats said there are missing elements that are needed for compilation. Try dragging your files to a new project and run. This way it will give you a fresh .exe with your code.
