Maybe You’ve already executed an instance on your IDE environment. Or, You used a shadow make, the executable file will be linked under shadow directory

First thing: Please check whether the file you want to run was actually created. Go into your build directory and check that it is indeed where it should be.

So is creator trying to run that file? What does Projects->Run Settings say? What is it trying to execute?

So does H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\spectrum.exe exist? Can you run it from the shell?

@tobias

it is working now…
the exe file which i was searching was not there in

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug

directory..
instead of that it was there in the

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\debug

directory..

so i changed the run configuration and its working now….

thanx tobias for pointing out my mistake…
