Error message : "could not find program"

[garylafferty]

I have been working on a project all day, and it compiles okay in Delphi(5).

When I press F9 to run the program, I get the following error message:

"could not find program, c:\gary\delphi5\admin.exe"

where admin is the name of the project.

I was working on this program earlier, and it was working fine - now it's not, and I have NO idea why! The .exe file is NOT in the folder, and if I copy in another .exe file and call it admin.exe , it runs that program instead of compiling my project???

There are no issues that i am aware of, no error messages came up or anything.

Does anyone please have any idea what could be wrong here, i just can't afford to lose all my work & have to start again from scratch.

Have you done a Project | Build ? then F9

Hi,

YES , I have done both build & compile ... neither gives any error message at all ...

I'm not 100% sure why, but check your Output directory in Project | options |directories/conditionals, if may be putting it in a different place than you think.

Is the date / time of the admin.exe matching the compilation date / time?

Or simply try closing down Delphi and restarting - maybe it's having a bit of a tantrum.

The default output directory is:

.../Borland/Delphi 5/Projects

Hope it helps, BobbaFet

Everyone has a right to my opinion.
