    There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, any programming language in which it is the least bit difficult to write bad code.

    First thing: Please check whether the file you want to run was actually created. Go into your build directory and check that it is indeed where it should be.

    So is creator trying to run that file? What does Projects->Run Settings say? What is it trying to execute?

  • it is trying to execute...

    H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\spectrum.exe

    and the working directory is...

    H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug

    So does H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\spectrum.exe exist? Can you run it from the shell?

  • @tobias

    it is working now...
    the exe file which i was searching was not there in

    H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug

    directory..
    instead of that it was there in the

    H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\debug

    directory..

    so i changed the run configuration and its working now....

    thanx tobias for pointing out my mistake...
