Running Program.cpp, get Launch Failed. Binary Not Found
So I'm very new, I've recently setup Eclipse for C / C++, I've made a new C++ project with a Program.cpp, then I make a regular Hello World and when I run it I get the error, Launch Failed. Binary not found.
My Code:
I have saved and CTRL + B on my project.Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; }
What do I do to fix this?
What is the exact error message? What binary was not found? The compiler, or your program executable?

I have eclipse, I click on the dropdown menu in the Run Button, and click Run as... Local C/C++ Application, then I just get a window message pop-up saying exactly:
Launch Failed. Binary Not Found. and there's an OK button on that very window, the window is named Application Launcher.

Did you build the project?

Yes as I've said in my post, look above, I have saved, and CTRL + B to build, multiple times and tried to run.
EDIT: If you don't use eclipse as your IDE then sorry, yes I've build by CTRL + B
I've read online for many solutions and accomplished them, but still same error. Perhaps you could direct me to ways of checking if everything in Eclipse is setup right. Another issue is when I typed using namespace std;, it had an error for some time but then it went away and someone said you just wait and it will go away. I hope that helps.

The default launch configuration is not being created for the project scenario sounds like a possibility here.

The default run, runs in debug mode, but debug mode gives me another error:
'Launching Project Debug' has encountered a problem.
Error Starting Process.
Details:
Error starting process.
Cannot run program "C:\Users\Auguslav\Programming\C++\Project\Program .cpp": Launching failed

If I click on Browse for project I can find Project, if I click then Search Project... in the Run Configuration It gives me a big box binaries, which I believe is the list from which I choose to select my program, the list of binaries is empty, look here:

Hmm... one thing you could do is to refer to the configuration for the compiler to see where the compiled binaries are placed, then go to that directory and see if the binary is there.

Sorry, but how could I do this? I don't really understand what you said, and therefore not sure what to click or where to go to get this fixed!
EDIT: What I had done is instead of doing Search Project for the C/C++ Application path bar I did Browse... and I found the file and instead of just Program.cpp it's now the entire path with the Program.cpp, but it still gets the same error, Debug has it's error the same, and Local C/C++ Application run also has the Binary error.

Perhaps it's a problem with how I setup my IDE? So many different tutorials state so many different things... I've done one of them, and perhaps I've done something wrong, although I still not know of a way how to check if I've done something wrong.
Try clicking on "Project" on the left panel and see what you get. There will probably be some kind of configuration box with the path to the build directory, perhaps specific to the configuration (e.g., in a debug configuration, the executable may be placed in a debug subdirectory). If this is really too hard, then perhaps you could consider Code::Blocks with the MinGW port of GCC bundled as an alternative IDE.

If I left-click on "Project" on the left panel nothing happens, it just gets selected, I can right-click and it gives me a box of options, by right-clicking and going to properties I get this window: http://i.imgur.com/2bE3WzG.png
EDIT: This is the options box when right-clicking project on the left panel: http://i.imgur.com/yHiCIfL.png

Look under C/C++ Build.
