I've just completed a new install of vs2010ex (because vc2012ex has no WInCLI) for Cpp.
The install went fine. So I decided the first thing was to test with a "Hello World".
Selecting a console app, vs provides a 'complete' hello world code for me. Neat, the test
should be easy. Wrong!.
When I attemp to compile it I get link error caused by the inability to find the
solutions .exe file.
1>------ Build started: Project: dbf_first_hello, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
And an error box...
"Unable to start program "mydirs\myfile.exe. System cannot find the file specified."
I touched NOTHING after install, I just tan the FIRST sample program I could and it
failed. Checking both the solutions debug and release dirs, and indeed there is no
myfile.exe to be found.
Did I screw up someplace, did I neglect to set some setting?
I assumed that if the app provides some DEFAULT code it should compile and run.
