Hello,
About the question - the exe file is always created when you run your code.
Just go to the folder containing the .cpp file and under it you will find an exe file
Hope that will help you!

Probably the .exe will be found in a sub-folder, on my version of code::blocks, it is either bin/debug or bin/release, relative to the location of the .cpp files.

@Nanyo - not necessarily. Anything other than Windows will most often have no extension at all.

@ranju - did you mean Code::Blocks? The executable file will be somewhere in your project folder - either the same directory as the project, or in something like the bin/Debug or bin/Release folders.

Which OS are you using?

[ranju]

windows 8

and what do you mean by 'a windows application'? If you can compile and run your code on your computer that means it will work on Windows (your version of Windows at least). Do you want a nice menu to pop up with shiny graphics? Are you trying to make a Windows 8 app thing that fills the whole screen?
