How to make exe with Visual C++?

[Andreas Reinhard]

Hallo!

I've tried to use MS Visual C++ (Visual Studio .NET) for a while. But I
couldn't manage to make an exe-file yet. I don't know what I do wrong.

I tried to compile a Win32 Console Project.
When I click on

Build - Build newproject

it says:

"
------ Build started: Project: newproject, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Compiling...
stdafx.cpp
Compiling...
newproject.cpp
Linking...

Build log was saved at
"file://d:\viergewinnt\new\newproject\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
newproject - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)


---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped
"

But where is the exe-file then? Or how can I create it?

Thank u,
Andreas

You're off topic in this NG. You're better off with a different news-group.

The simple answer to your question is - look in the "Debug" or "Release"
directory (depending on the build). However if you look at project
properties you'll notice that there is an "Output Directory" and this is
different for different kinds of builds. These directories are relative
to where your ".vcproj" file or your ".dsp" file is.

Your question is off-topic on comp.lang.c++, as it is specific to a
particular tool. See the following links:

You can easily do so

Go to the projects folder in visual studio save folder.Open up a project folder and open the debug folder in it.There is an executable file in it.
But first you have to build your project by pressing Ctrl+Shift+b
