Do ctrl F5 to compile and run your project without debugging   Look at the output pane  defaults to  Show output from Build     If it compiled successfully  the path to the  exe file should be there after  projectname  vcxproj -

All executable files from Visual Studio should be located in the debug folder of your project  e g      Visual Studio Directory  c  users me documents visual studio   Then the project which was called  hello world  would be in the directory      c  users me documents visual studio hello world   And your exe would be located in      c  users me documents visual studio hello world Debug hello world exe   Note the exe being named the same as the project   Otherwise  you could publish it to a specified folder of your choice which comes with an installation  which would be good if you wanted to distribute it quickly  EDIT   Everytime you build your project in VS  the exe is updated with the new one according to the code  as long as it builds without errors   When you publish it  you can choose the location  aswell as other factors  and the setup exe will be in that location  aswell as some manifest files and other files about the project
