Visual studio ошибка не удается найти указанный файл

Недавно столкнулся с проблемой в Visual Studio : при попытке компиляции программы в конфигурации debug программа завершается с ошибкой "Невозможно найти указанный файл ". До очистки решения программа работала верно, .cpp файл в проект включен, все зависимости в свойствах проекта выставлены, все необходимые файлы в папку debug перенесены. Проверял, не запускает с той же ошибкой даже программу первого урока kuchka-pc (http://kychka-pc.ru/sfml/urok-1-podklyuchenie-biblioteki-k-srede-razrabotki-visual-studio-2013.html). Подскажите, в чём может быть проблема? Прикладываю код программы с kuchka-pc, тк. он короче.

  • Единственная возможноя причина, это то что берутся заголовочные файлы из одной версии SDK, а тулсет из другой. Если есть старые ненужные версии студии, снесите их, и переустановите SDK нужной версии студии.

I installed Visual Studio 2010. I wrote a simple code which I’m sure is correct but unfortunately, when I run the code, I get the error below.

Here is my code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main (){ 
  cout <<"Hello StackOverFlow ;)";
  return 0;
}

And here is the error:

Unable to start program ‘C:UsersSoheilDesktopNew foldersamDebugsam.exe
The system cannot find the file specified

Would you help me solve the issue? Should I define the project in a
specific directory? I’ve spent a ton of hours to solve this issue and
have not had any success yet.

This is a first step for somebody that is a beginner. Same thing happened to me:

Look in the Solution Explorer box to the left. Make sure that there is actually a .cpp file there. You can do the same by looking the .cpp file where the .sln file for the project is stored. If there is not one, then you will get that error.

When adding a cpp file you want to use the Add new item icon. (top left with a gold star on it, hover over it to see the name) For some reason Ctrl+N does not actually add a .cpp file to the project.

Encountered the same issue, after downloading a project, in debug mode. Searched for hours without any luck. Following resolved my problem;

Project Properties -> Linker -> Output file -> $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)

It was previously pointing to a folder that MSVS wasn’t running from whilst debugging mode.

EDIT: soon as I posted this I came across: unable to start «program.exe» the system cannot find the file specified vs2008 which explains the same thing.

I know this is an old thread, but for any future visitors, the cause of this error is most likely because you haven’t built your project from Build > Build Solution. The reason you’re getting this error when you try to run your project is because Visual Studio can’t find the executable file that should be produced when you build your project.

As others have mentioned, this is an old thread and even with this thread there tends to be different solutions that worked for different people. The solution that worked for is as follows:

Right Click Project Name > Properties
Linker > General 
Output File > $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt) as indicated by @ReturnVoid
Click Apply

For whatever reason this initial correction didn’t fix my problem (I’m using VS2015 Community to build c++ program). If you still get the error message try the following additional steps:

Back in Project > Properties > Linker > General > Output File > 

You’ll see the previously entered text in bold

Select Drop Down > Select "inherit from parent or project defaults"
Select Apply

Previously bold font is no longer bold

Build > Rebuild > Debug

It doesn’t make since to me to require these additional steps in addition to what @ReturnVoid posted but…what works is what works…hope it helps someone else out too. Thanks @ReturnVoid

I came across this problem and none of these solution worked 100%

In addition to ReturnVoid’s answer which suggested the change

Project Properties -> Linker -> Output file -> $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)

I needed to changed

Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Debug Information Format -> /Zi

This field was blank for me, changing the contents to /Zi (or /Z7 or /ZI if those are the formats you want to use) allowed me to debug

For me, I didn’t have my startup project set in Solution Explorer.

Go to Solution Explorer on the left of VS, right click your unit test project, and choose «set as startup project».

I had just ported my code to a new workspace, and forgot that when I opened the project in VS in the solution there, that I needed to re-set my startup project.

I know this thread is 1 year old but I hope this helps someone, my problem was that I needed to add:

    #include "stdafx.h"

to my project (on the first line), this seems to be the case most of the time!

I got this problem during debug mode and the missing file was from a static library I was using. The problem was solved by using step over instead of step into during debugging

if vs2010 installed correctly

check file type (.cpp)

just build it again It will automatically fix,, ( if you are using VS 2010 )

I had a same problem and i could fixed it!
you should add
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv7.1ALibx64 for 64 bit system
/ C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv7.1ALib for 32 bit system
in property manager-> Linker-> General->Additional library Directories

maybe it can solve the problem of somebody in the future!

03.11.2019, 16:25. Показов 17502. Ответов 6


microsoft visual studio 2019 с пол года работал, но сейчас при попытки отладки выскакивает ошибка «Не удаётся запустить программу LL.exe .Не удаётся найти указанный файл»
Создание нового проекта не помогает.

В чём может быть причина и как её устранить ? Так же менял места сохранения файлов проекта.

Добавлено через 1 час 1 минуту
Переустановка не помогла

Добавлено через 33 минуты
Если вручную добавить файл в проект то всё работает.
Но вопрос остаётся открытым: Почему он сам не может это сделать как делал ранее ?

Даже при создании нового проекта с Hello World выскакивает эта ошибка.

я уже говорил, что vs2019 сырое гуамно..
пользуйтесь vs2017 как минимум до весны следующего года, там видно будет.

Почему-то у меня никаких проблем с VS2019 нет. Тут очень велика вероятность что проблема в прокладке между монитором и креслом.

если у тебя нет проблем, значит ты не умеешь пользоваться студией — для юзера 0 уровня всё работает хорошо.
