Exe file wont work outside VS folder
Hello all,
I am very new to programming in general; however i have indeed created a C++ program that does work for what i need it to. the program will be called from a IPC PLC (Beckhoff). It will read variables from the PLC then open the specified text file and convert it to robot code. the program has been successful to date. however; i had to make some minor changes to a few arrays that were not large enough. now, if i run the exe file from the project folder everything works great and the communication to the PLC works fine; but, if i move the exe file to any other folder (including the PDB file) it just crashes right away.
has anyone has a similar issue? or suggestions as to what i am doing wrong?
Thank you

Could be that the program tries to read the file that is not there. Do you pass it an relative or absolute path?
