The working directory does not exist in Visual Studio 2010
visual-studio-2010
Solution
Nevermind, I got it. It was so simple, I'm sorry for wasting anyone's time.
The source Solution had a lot of Projects under them. I figured at least one of them was pointing to a directory that doesn't exist, so I waded through the Projects,
- I right-clicked a Project and clicked the Properties
- This will open up the ProjectName Property Tab
- Under the Debug tab, there is a filed called "Working Directory"; I changed it to where the project is currently located.
This solved my problem, for now, unless there's a Project I missed. I am wondering, though, if I have to do this again if I move the Solution elsewhere.
Problem
I am using Visual Studio 2010. I wanted to study some code that dumps relevant data in a database, find out how it works and adapt it to my own version. I only got as far as loading the solution in VS 2010, hitting the "Start Debugging" button, and then I got this error: ``` The working directory does not exist: 'D:\Dev\CodeProject\articles\smartcardfmwk\Smartcard_Framework ``` How can I fix this error? The source code in question is Smart Card Framework, from Code Project I downloaded the "Updated Project (VS2010)" and I can open it in VS2010, as well as build, but debugging just wouldn't work. I did not try replicating the path yet, but as this is a working project, my company requires that it is placed on a very specific location accessible by others.
