Linker for Visual C++ 2005 Express

I just downloaded the C++ 2005 Express package but can not create an
executable for my programs. Does the software have a linker to do this
or was it not included since it is free?

VC++ Express can create full applications - looks like your installation is
stuffed. Where exactly does it hang?

I'm able to build the solution but when I go to debug it, it tells me
that it can not find the exe file in the specified location.

It's possible that you created a new DLL project. You need to create an
application project - like a console exe or a windows forms application.

I'm creating a Win32 Console Application. Under Application Setting and
Additional options I check 'empty project' (same as I do in visual
studio full version) I add a file and save as a .cpp and when I build
the solution I noticed just now that the message at the bottom says:
Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped

What does that mean?

Ah, so I was adding the .cpp file wrong. I was going to the file menu
and doing it from there. I just right clicked on my resource files
folder and added it from there and now all is well.

Whew! Thanks for the assistance!

It means the compiler thinks you have not done any source editing since your
last compile. That is, it thinks your compilation is up-to-date. It should
(be forced to) compile if you do a Rebuild, or Clean before you Build
(which basically is what a Rebuild is)...

Im using visual c++ 2005 express beta2. I understand that one of the big complaints with 2003, was there there is no proper linker? Is this true and has it been changed in 2005 ? When i was using BC ++ builder i could compile source code into .lib files and also embed resource files into the exe, i wanted to distribute. Im told this cant be done with .net products, is this true.

Hello friends, I have an issue with a linker warning. It is the warning LNK4089. I am working in MSVC6.0 I investigated and this warning tells that the import of the library to which it makes reference is redundant, thus the linker ignores that library in order to make the code smaller. As it is expected, it only appears for release versions.
