So, I installed Visual C++ 2010 for the fifth time, I believe, and every time I debug a program, even the simplest c++ program fails to compile, and I get the following error:

Unable to start program 'C:\Users\Ruth\sid\game\Debug\game.exe'. The system cannot find the file specified.

I don't know why this is happening or if I need to create an exe file. myself. I need help fast. Thanks.

    Could you put the error message here, instead of the image URL? It could help others who will search for the same symptoms. Thanks. – Yury Schkatula Sep 29 '13 at 10:55

    Duplicate of [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16511925/the-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified-when-running-c-program). Try to build your solution. – user2422869 Sep 29 '13 at 11:04

    Please do not post images of text messages. It's lazy and wasteful. You can copy the contents of a standard MessageBox using Ctrl-C. – enhzflep Sep 29 '13 at 11:06
  • thanks, I'l try that to see if it will work. –  Sep 29 '13 at 11:07
  • 'Even the simplest program fails to compile' - then you should post the compiler error messages. The 'unable to start ...' message is a consequence of the failure to compile. So post your compiler error messages they are the real problem. – john Sep 29 '13 at 11:58

Do the setup program of Visual C++ 2010 includes a repair program? If it does, then run it and try to repair your MSVC by clicking the "Repair" button therein and following the next procedure, but it takes time to complete.
