So I've been having this problem for a while it is usually a hit or miss. Sometimes I get the error, sometimes I don't.

I'm working on assembly x86 and everytime when I try to create a new project for .asm files, I get an error of the following

Unable to start program ...\Debug\DefaultProjectname.exe The system cannot find the file specified

These are steps I use to make a file

Create project
Build MASM dependencies
Link Irvine library in additional dependencies

I'm able to build solution so that is kinda weird Also, I'm trying to find a way that allow me to skip all the steps above and copy the default template

Do you mean MASM? NASM is a different assembler that's not normally used with Irvine32 or Visual Studio. – Peter Cordes May 21 '20 at 20:17

@PeterCordes you're right, I just checked it's MASM – Fenzox May 21 '20 at 20:20
