   HELP!
  Hey everyone.  I made a cool 3D maze program based on Lesson 10 and I'm currently having trouble compiling it into an .exe  I'm doing it for a programing class and it's due tomorrow so if any of you have any suggestions on how I can get the stupid thing to compile it would be greatly appreciated.   
  Do you expect us to guess whats wrong?  What errors are you getting?Alan   ;  None what so ever.  I go to Build and then Compile, it waits and second and then beeps indicating that it's done, no errors at all.  But when I go into the folder where the .exe should be it's just not there!  I dunno wut to do. :-\   ;  Can you make the program run?  Because if not, then how do you know it even works?  Anyway, it's hard to say what's wrong with so little information, but I recommend checking for places like "debug" and "release" for where it might be.  What you really should do is go into your project settings and see what the output directory is set to.What compiler/IDE are you using?  Heck, what language are you using?   ;  Yeah I can build it, run it, edit it, everything.  It just when I try to compile it, it doesn't show up.  And it should create the .exe right in the folder where the .dsw is and everything else but it's just not there. :(   ;  Well, if you can run it, then an exe must have been compiled and linked somewhere. Are you sure you haven't checked in the "yourprogram\debug" or "yourprogram\release" folders?   ;  Yeah sometime in the debug folder there is an .exe but whenever I run that I get the "Initialization Failed" error box but that's nothing new, before when it worked fine I would have an .exe in my debug folder that would always give me that message when I tried to run it, and then another in the primary program folder with the .dsw, .cpp, etc.   ;  BTW that was me ^   ;  It sounds like your using vc6.0. If you are then this might be the problem: whenever you run the program from your IDE (vc6), the current directory is set to the directory where the dsw is. When you run the program from your release/debug directories the current directory becomes the release/debug directory. Simply copy the executable from the release/debug directory into the dsw's directory and that should fix your problem. However, this should only be an issue if your program is looking for a certain dll in the current directory or looking for some resources like textures or models.Hope that helps,- llvllatrix   ;  Wow that seemed way to easy to work... but it did so thanks!
