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)...
