i’m new to visual studio and couldn’t find anything on google about this. i know this is an extremely noobish question, but i can’t seem to find any info for it.

the debug shows me whatever i write, and the build has no errors, so i know the code i’m writing is fine.

the release folder doesn’t contain the .exe, even after i build it, rebuild, clean, etc.

it’s a win 32 console project. the release folder contains the .obj files, the manifest, the build log, idb, pch and pdb files (one of each)

    Some possible reasons:

    • Did you accidentally create a class library project? In that case the output would be a DLL and not an EXE.
    • Does the output window or the error list display any build errors? In that case you should first fix these, then build again.
    • Did you change the configuration of the project, so that the output (EXE) is created in a different folder than the default one?
