Debug Target Is Missing?

Question

When I try to build my solution, I get the following error:

Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target 'c:\target' is missing. Please build the project and retry, or set the OutputPath and AssemblyName properties appropriately to point at the correct location for the target assembly.

My output path is set correctly to bin\Debug, but the exe is never created in that folder. Instead, all I get are the exe.config, vshost.exe, and vshost.exe.config files.

Any idea what's going on?

Answer 1

You could open the project file with a text editor and replace 'c:\target' by 'bin\Debug'
