Can't figure out how to actually make a program in visual studio

I'm used to a Linux compiler where I just point it at all the relevant .cpp and .h files and it makes a program. That's really all I want in a compiler, but I got Visual Studio to use on my Windows computer at home. I don't really know much about compilers. I just want to actually have a .exe I can pick up and send to other people who use Windows. My program runs fine in Visual Studio itself. I'm not sure where the compiler is actually putting that program when it runs in Visual studio, but the best guess I have is Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Solution1\Release\Project1.exe, which says "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." Either that's the right place to find the compiled program and I don't know what I'm doing to make it work in Visual Studio but not on its own, or I'm looking in the wrong place. Can someone please point me in the right direction here?
