Hey! it's 2015 version. And yes i have extracted the framework. I was working fine. Suddenly one day, when i tried to run the program through the local debugger, it gives me error like Unable to start the program, the system can't find the path specified. I tired reinstalling the visual studio, but it didn't help.

Click on the Build menu item, then on Rebuild.
In the output window, if the rebuild succeeds, it should tell you the path where the exe file is created. If it was successful, try going to that path and opening the file directly.

I think I have gotten this when my anti-virus software quarantines the exe file after the compiler builds it.

Thank you!! I am new to programming. When i built the program, it compiles and runs. But to run the program i always need to built it. The local Windows just won't work, and i have to built the program everytime. I can't find the solution to this problem anywhere. it's been so long, and i haven't been able to progess in any of my works

Try this
unable-to-start-debugging

Make sure the project is set as the default
