Cannot Compile/Debug Project

I am able to successfully build my project using a fresh install of
Visual Studio .Net, but when I try and compile/run it, a dialog box
comes up stating:

"Unable to start debugging."

"Unable to start program blah blah blah.exe"

"The system cannot find the file specified".

Essentially, nothing is getting created in my project's Debug folder
when I build.

This happens for anything I try and create, even the simplest "Hello
World" app.

What could I be doing wrong here?

Are you sure you're compiling a debug build and not a release build?
