EDIT - Whoops, misread that.
It means you've already built the project and it doesn't need to be compiled/linked again (hence, "up-to-date")
ok, so then how do I run the program?
Find the execute thing (I think it's got an image of a !), in the debug menu, I think control f5 does it ... for me, but I'm not the same version.
when I do that, it says I can't find the exe file
Well, do you have any source code? You need source code to make a program. :p
Once you have source code, you compile it, like you just did, or just hit "build and run" from the tools (or is it build?) menu.
of course I have sourse code. and I can't seem to find the build and run command in either menu.
Try Debug->Start or Debug->Start Without Debugging
tried that, dosen't work. also, would it matter if I am running in an evaluation copy of vista?
"Doesn't work" tells me nothing. What happens when you try to run it?
i get the error message that says it can't find the exe file.
It shouldn't. Go into your project's directory. There should be a build folder. Go in there, and see if there's a *.exe file somewhere.Quote:

Well, there should be a folder named "debug" (or possibly "release") that contains the exe. Have you tried starting from scratch, with a Win32 console program that you know should compile and run? (or is that what you did in the first place?)
Edit: You should also try Build->Rebuild Solution if you haven't already
