error LNK1104 - can't run any code

[alex459]

Whenever run code by clicking 'Start Without Debugging' I receive an error that says:
"error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\CS\Project1\Debug\Project1.exe'"

I have been running code fine and this error just started appearing when I try to run anything, I am using Visual Studio 2013. I am not sure what to make of this, let me know if you can help me.

Thanks,

-Alex

Make sure your program terminates. It might be still running.
Check if you could find the exe in Windows task manager.

After doing some troubleshooting, I found that my anti-virus software was not allowing the .exe file to run. Very random because I had been running files perfectly fine before yesterday.

The debug folder in my project only had a .pdb file and the anti-virus software was hiding the .ilk and .exe files.

If it's all fixed then that's great. If it's not maybe you have to run console or the .exe file in particular as administrator.
