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.

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:

include 

int main[]
    {

        cout >;
        system["pause"];
        return 0;
    }

"The system cannot find the file specified"

The system cannot find the file specified usually means the build failed [which it will for your code as you're missing a # infront of include, you have a stray >> at the end of your cout line and you need std:: infront of cout] but you have the 'run anyway' option checked which means it runs an executable that doesn't exist. Hit F7 to just do a build and make sure it says '0 errors' before you try running it.

Code which builds and runs:

#include 

int main[]
{
   std::cout  Open > Folder, and then browse to the code location. On the context [right-click] menu of a folder containing code, choose the Open in Visual Studio command. Choose the Open Folder link on the start window.
