Hey guys, let me say 1st off, I’m a fairly new programmer. I’ve only been working with c++ for about a year, and I’ve just started dabbling in cocos2d-x this week.
I initially had troubles getting cocos2d-x to work with my visual studio express IDE, and when trying to start a project by opening the SLN file in the main branch of the cocos2d-x folder, the libraries and classes don’t want to compile. I worked around this by using the VCXPROJ files in the templates folder.
So I opened up the hellocpp project from the windows template directory and started messing around with the code so I can grasp the different libraries within cocos2d-x. While I have no problem building or debugging programs, when I run the .exe application in the release folder the application immediately crashes.
Why won’t my windows applications run?
My specs :
O/S : Windows 7 64bit - fresh install
CPU : AMD Phenom II x6 1055t
Mobo : Asus Crosshair IV
GPU : Nvidia gtx480
Drivers : All drivers are up to date.
Sounds like you are building the wrong place or your files aren’t all getting correctly copied to ‘Release’

“Don’t want to compile” Too vague, post the exact errors
“immediately crashes” Too vague, what does the error say?
“no problem building or debugging programs” — Under what Active Solution Configuration?

The more specific your questions are, the more likely you’ll get help. We’re all programmers here, so give us programmer details.
If I open "cocos2d-win32.vc2012.sln as a project, then try to debug I get a message box that says the following : [Unable to start program ‘x:2d-2.1rc0-x-2.1.2\cocos2d-2.1rc0-x-2.1.2\Debus.win32\libchipmunk.lib’.]
HelloCpp.exe has stopped working. Will post details at the end of this post.
Any default win32 solution configuration (Both debug and release work under debugging).
I should also add that even before I started messing around in the codes, I couldn’t get the windows template executables to run.
Details on the HelloCpp.exe crash window.

Edit : Also, the Debug executable doesn’t work for me either. I can debug the program fine through Visual Studio, but trying to run the executable outside of my development environment results in the same thing as #2.
I’m having a similar problem, but instead of crashing, the exe opens as a black window. I’ll paste the question link here, so if a solution is found in my question you’ll be able to see it.
Thank you that was so simple. But if anyone read this, remember this if you can run your cocos 2d-x project in Visual studio, but when you go to the exe it will not work, you need to copy the files from the RESOURCES directory.
