    Could not execute : Invalid directory(Win32 error : 267)

    when i click the ok button then the following message :

    "Cannot execute the program"

    so how to fix this problem?

    Since it is happening when you RUN the program, use the Debugger!!!

    You are tring to access a file/directory which does not exist or to which you do not have the rights required.

    How to fix the problem is dependant on what the problem is?

    If the directory/file should exist, create it...

    If the program is looking in the wrong place...change where it is looking....

    Just out of curiosity...check that the path to the application is set correctly within the project settings (ALT + F7 -> Debug -> Application for debug session (or similar))...

    have you changed the project settings ??

    And if this happens for all projects then must be Visual studio's problem , report to MS and install service pack 5.

    Win32 Error 267 is ERROR_DIRECTORY . It means that the
    the directory name is invalid. Did you play around with the
    project settings ??
    All luck and have a great day.

    Well, since you post in that old thread then you already have to have understood that to get any reliable help you have to provide much more info about *your* problem, such as:
    • where, when and how it happens
    • the App type
    • Build type (debug/release, unicode/ansi)
    • IDE used
    • ...
