Project Error: VS Cannot Start Debugging Because The Debug Target .exe Is Missing
Feb 10, 2010
I'm using visual studio express 2008, I wrote my code for a project and then when I tried to debug it I got a few errors but one main one that says this. Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target "".exe is missing Please build the project and retry, or set the output path and assembly names appropriately to point at the correct location of the target assembly. Since this is my first time debugging a program with this particular instance of the program, I am in shock. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
i am working on a microwave app its very important anyways ill give up what code ive got so far and such but when i try to run it i get this error message: Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target Microwave.exe is missing Please build the project and retry or set the OutputPath and AssemblyName properties appropriately to point at correct location for the target assembly. [Code]
When i try to build and play my project there is an error:Microsoft Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target "....LCCGDuelArenaVBNETCompatible.exe" is misssing
I am working with visual studio 2008, developing a simple windows form app. in VB. but a very weird situation has presented itself (at least I think its weird).When I try F5 or any other way to start the debugger I get this message:"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer. This may bebecause the remote computer does not exist or a firewall may be preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Helpfor assistance."Needless to say, Help is Helpless.The weird thing about it is that this only appears if my computer is not connected to the home network and only in VB. When I try to debug on any other language it works fine, or if I connect to the network then VB debugs fine. I do not think I am using a remote debugger.
I set my computer then install VB6.0 run VS2005 VB.net 2005 error example: Visual Studio can not start debugging because-the debug target exe .'... '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. same machine can use the same VB6.0 and vb.net 2005 is not?

I'm using VS2008, and I have a project that will not start when I press F5 or when I click the little green triangle in the toolbar. The screen flickers once, like the project is going to run, and then it doesn't. The build message claims the build was successful, but the project won't start.In the Configuration Manager, my 'Active solution configuration:' is set to Debug, and in the 'Project contexts' list, the 'Configuration' column for my Project is set to Debug. I've even switched them back and forth between Debug and Release and then back to Debug, all with no effect. The project that I'm trying to run is set as the 'Startup Project' in my solution.If I go to my inDebug folder and double-click the .exe, (which shows the proper time-stamp on the file) my app runs just fine.Any ideas why I can't get the silly thing to run in debug mode?
EDIT: It's a winforms application. My version of Visual Studio is 9.0.30729.1 SP
I have a windows 7 computer with vb 2008 express on it. it works really well, except only one thing. when I try to debug an application ( usually windows forms), it produces a run-time error saying: Error while trying to run project; unable to start debugging.
Everything was working just fine...then one time running the debugger and I'm given a 401.2 error from IIS Express 7.5. I created a new project and tested - worked fine. I ensured the web.config and other project settings where identical - still getting the error in the original project!
When i try to save my program an error pops up telling me that it cannot debug because some sort of file is missing... While my other projects just work, and while i repeat the same steps (placing an entity like a button, coding it), it just shows that error. Its really strange!
I am confused with the terms Build ,rebuild ,start , start without debugging in VS.NET.After writing the code what actually we want to do .We have to run directly by pressing F5 key or we have to build the solution .Usually i tried to run the application after coding and if shows any any errors i will fix that and run again .I never used build or rebuild thing .What exactly meant by building the solution .What is meant by rebuild and start without debugging.
I lust started a class for visual basic. I installed the program I have vista. The program installed just fine. My problem is I go to file and try to open and new project and recieve an error message "Reguested registry access not allowed". Therfor I can not start a new project for my class.
I am trying to list all the current threads that are running in my application. According to various posts, this can be simply done by selecting Debug -> Windows -> Threads however the threads window is not there. I am using Visual Basic Express .net 2010, am I doing something wrong, or is it not implemented in this version ?
If it is not implemented, is there a simple way to display all the threads that are running. I don't want lots details about them, just what they are ?
I'm, following the tutorial on creating your first program in Visual basic. I'm instructed to start a new project, and select windows form application. When I hit okay I get the following error:"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Engine, Version 3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I new to this Forum and relatively new to VB programming. I have read some really good posts here and thought I would ask about a perplexing problem I'm having. I createdindows Form application, built it and deployed it with no problems. However, when I added a small block of code, re-built the app and went to add the app to the Project Output Group in the file system editor the project was not in the Project drop down list. I closed the Setup project and deleted it from the project folder and checked my code and re-built the app and tried the Set Up project again with the same result

When a delegate method throws an unhandled exception, that exception is usually trapped at the level of invocation (eg. Delegate.Invoke()) - you get a System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException...
However, when debugging classes utilizing a lot of threading/invoation, it would be helpful to be able trap the exception in the target method i.e. the faulty code, and since Microsofts BackgroundWorker (exceptions thrown in DoWork()) is able to do it, why can't I???
I have installed .net 2003 in a machine running Vista Ultimate. I have started by writing a simple 'Hello World' code but I get an "Unable to start debugging.."error when I try to start the code.The message tells me that I need to have adminastrative or debugger rights.
Using VB 2008 When I press the F5 or Start Debugging it does a rebuild even when I have made no changes since the last time. Where is the setting to tell it to only do a rebuild if there are changes?
Whenever I try to debug, I get an error message that says "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. The binding handle is invalid." How do I fix this? It's happening for every project.
Sometime when I press the run (F5) Start debugging button it does nothing. Often when I have jsut run it and made a quick correction. If left for a while it will then work! Have tried it with simple and complex projects.
Using W7 x64 - never had this problem with VB 2008 express.
I have a project that is build in VB 6.0 version. I need to launch this project locally to debug an issue. But unfortunately I don't have VB 6.0 installed on my machine and my firm is not providing this software anymore. Is there any way that I can open VB 6.0 project using other versions of Visual Studio?
