Okay, so I run the program once and its fine and dandy, however when I change the code and save, it won't run, now I know that you may suggest "you have to close the running program", as a matter of fact, it is closed. I have checked and double checked this over and over across various IDE's. Here is the errors for eclipse, netbeans, and orwell dev-c++:

Eclipse:

16:47:06 **** Incremental Build of configuration Release for project Programming Project ****

g++ -o "Programming Project.exe" "src\\ch_3_excercises.o"

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 865ms)

And Lastly Orwell Dev-c++:

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Execution terminated

One last thing, after a few minutes it allows me to run, strange. I think it might have something to do with it not saving instantly, what do you guys think?

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I found the solution, it looks like I had "Application Experience" service disabled, in an attempt to have a faster boot up. I turned it back on and this seems to have fixed the problem. I don't know how that service stops it from running though.

Hi Jigar,

the hint of Ray Leonard helped me to solve this nasty problem. Ray goes a bit in media res, with dumps an details, anyhow.
My working environment is:
* Eclipse Version: Kepler Release, Build id: 20130614-0229 preconfigured for Cpp.
* Windows-7, 64 Bit

"Application experience" thus is a Windows service. Services can enabled/disabled with "Services.msc". You do this:

1.) Just enter Services.msc at Cmd.exe command prompt of Windows-CLI.
2.) Windows "Services" is popping up. Look for the list entry of "Application experience".
3.) Context-click on the list-entry and choose properties.
4.) In the properties-Popupwindow check the combobox Starttyp
5.) Change starttyp from deactivated to automatic.

After that, this real wicked bug is gone, and IDE with it's compiler/linking and building chain start working like a charm.

Thanks Ray, that saved me the evening.

I don't have Application experience in my services. I don't know if I ever did. It was working fine but I had a spelling error on my output. I changed it and rebuilt the program and then it did not work any longer. Any idea what I might try next?

You actually didn't rebuild the program -- the loader can't write the exe file.
The usual cause is somehow the exe is marked as locked.
This can happen for a number of reasons
One of them is Windows won't allow an executing program to be modified.
There are others.


This may help:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7655471/ld-exe-cannot-open-output-file-permission-denied
As for "application experience" it's been part of all Windows releases since Vista.
So, you likely do have it and the second answer at the stackoverflow link and Othmar's might apply.

Try all of the solutions there.
