You tageed that question with "C#", then you talk about VC++ solutions?

You resolve it by looking at the error messages, build logs etc. Please do not expect people to guess what is happening on your system.

Solution 1

As other have pointed out, it means that your build process (either the compiling or the linking) has failed.
Check the output window in VC++, there should be a list of errors why the build failed. Correct these errors, and it will work.
