How to fix The system cannot find the file specified in Visual Studio 2022
I am having a similar issue as this post. However, on build I have 0 errors, 0 warning, and 0 messages. Show I took a look at Project -> Properties but I do not seem to have a linker option (which appears to be a typical fix that others have used to solve this issue). I have also tried Rebuilding Solution and then running but that does not seem to work either... Based on the aforementioned similar issue I understand the premise that "when an exe cannot be created (or in my case - found)... then naturally it cannot be run as it does not exist". However, I do not understand where the disconnect is occurring that is preventing this file from either being found or created... Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. I keep getting this error with these lines of code:

Another take on this that hasn't been mentioned here is that, when in debug, the project may build, but it won't run, giving the error message displayed in the question. If this is the case, another option to look at is the output file versus the target file. These should match. A quick way to check the output file is to go to the project's property pages, then go to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General (In VS 2013 - exact path may vary depending on IDE version). There is an "Output File" setting. If it is not This is also discussed in more detail here.
