"The selection cannot be launched..." [message #1059445]

Hello all,
I was wanting to try out C++ programming with eclipse on windows. so installed MinGW. and then from eclipse Juno I installed the CDT.

I then created a hello world project and built it, however when I tried to run it I get a message ..

"The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches."

I found the helloworld.exe and in the project directory and I can execute it from the command prompt. "!!!Hello World!!!" . that probably means the the MinGW was installed properly and the "build" process worked from within eclipse.

Dug around a bit more and when I click on the down arrow triangle beside the debug or run icon and get to the "debug as" or "run as" item it shows "(none applicable)". Googled and searched but can't seem to find a solution.. so i am asking here..

I am not sure if it helps but I have been using Perl in eclipse (EPIC) and Small helloworld programs in java as well.

Hope some one can help.. thanks in advance.

I Windows 8 and run Eclipse C++ Kepler (Toolchain = MinGW). This is what I did for the same message that you got and it worked for me:
In editor's screen, right-click>Run As>Local C/C++ Application
