Project build problem - what am I doing wrong?

I have a program that needs to access a prewritten external data file
that is supplied with the program. I want to place this data file in
Environment.Spe cialFolder.Loca lApplicationDat a\MyProgramFold er\

In the program's setup project I've done: Add Special Folder | User's
Application Data File, then within this created a folder called
MyProgramFolder , then Add File and pointed to a copy of my external
data file, which duly appears in the folder contents (EXCEPT that it
has a wavy line underneath!)

But unfortunately the resulting setup program does not install the
external data file where it should - in fact as far as I can see it
does not install it at all anywhere on the target PC.

Cany anyone advise what I'm doing wrong please? The fact that the file
entry has a wavy line underneath is presumably indicative of an error
but what's the cause and how do I fix it?

I am having trouble getting debug and release builds to work properly with project references using C++ .NET and Visual Studio 2003. I created a test solution, with a basic Windows form C++ project. I then add a class library, and add a reference to this project in the first project. When I do a release build, I see the following in the output from the DLL compile: /OUT:"C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\Visual Studio

When I run my project (F5), it runs an older version of my project. However, when I build or rebuild the solution, it builds flawlessly... so shouldn't this overwrite the older version of my project so that F5 runs the newer version? Is there a way to clear the older versions (other than deleting the files manually) and is there something I am doing wrong? I want to prevent this from happening, as it makes debugging quite confusing! ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
