Problem with Visual C++

[mihail911]

Hey all! This is probably a really basic problem, but it's one I'm having trouble resolving. I just started using Visual C++ 2010 Express, and I tried opening up an empty project which I titled "Tests." I also opened (and saved) a C++ file which I labeled Main. However, when I write some really fundamental code (in the vein of "hello world") and try to debug it, I get the following error message:

Unable to start program 'C:\Users\...\Debug\Tests.exe' The system file cannot be specified.

What's going on? Why can't I compile the file?

help, anyone?

I don't use Visual C++, so I can't really tell, but you probably have to specify the project type, or files to build, or things like that. Try creating new projects with different parameters, etc, then try making and building only 1 source file, if everything goes wrong, reinstall.
