I am making a game from the Digipen ProjectFun FunEditor program and compiling it though Visual C++ 2005. It compiles but not an .exe, and says it cannot find the file when I try running it.

This is what it says in FunEditor:

Failed to execute: <file.exe>

The following error was reported: The system cannot find the file specified.

On the Visual C++ compiler:

    The test application works but the game still will not compile right.

    This might narrow things down.

    I followed the steps on the site and at the last step. When it started running It still says it cannot find the file for the application.

    I thought I followed everything It said.

  • MojoMonkey

    Are you using the Express Edition of Visual C++ If you are then you need to also install the Platform SDK - this link explains how:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/



  • ddennard

    Make sure you followe step 3:

    Step 3: Update the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box.

    Add the paths to the appropriate subsection:

    Executable files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin

    Include files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include

    Library files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib
