1st error says "there were build errors. continue?"

then i can click yes or no

if i click yes-

"visual studio cannot start debugging because the debug target 'C:\{file path}blah blah blah\petsch2.exe' is missing. please build the project and retry."

ill get a screen shot

There were build errors so the exe can't be created. If you choose to continue anyway... well that's what you get

What you need to do is to fix the errors in your code so the compiler can create the exe for you

What does it say when you click "No"? You can't build the EXE until you clear any errors. It should tell you what the error is if you click "No".

i see, i was under the impression that the error was CAUSED by the absence of the .exe, well i'll keep working on fixing everything

thanks for the responses

Errors = No EXE

No other conditions will exist.

Simple technical questions will get answered in the S/W forum.

Problem is that to many game threads exist which can push your thread down a few.

However, you can usually get a better quality response over there and you do not need to wear a flame suit unless it is homework that one will not admit to.
