Error: Program file specified in launch configuration does not exist

Original Created Dec 17, 2016 | Regeneration Apr 22, 2026

I encountered an error while trying to launch my Tizen project:

"The program file specified in the launch configuration does not exist D:\Users\patash\TizenStudioWorkspace\Project\Debug\myPro not found"

I've never faced this issue before. Could you help me resolve it?

Problem Understanding

The error occurs when the Tizen Studio cannot find the executable file specified in your project's launch configuration. This typically happens when:

  1. The build configuration (Debug/Release) doesn't match the selected launch configuration
  2. The project hasn't been built successfully before running
  3. The executable path is incorrect in the launch configuration

Solution Methods

  1. Check your launch configuration:

    • In Tizen Studio, go to Run → Debug Configurations
    • Select your project configuration
    • Ensure the "Build Configuration" matches what you're trying to run (Debug/Release)
  2. Rebuild your project:

    • Right-click on your project in Project Explorer
    • Select "Build Project" to ensure all binaries are generated
  3. Verify executable path:

    • In Debug Configurations, check the "Program file" path
    • Ensure it points to the correct executable in your project's Debug or Release folder

Additional Tips

  • If the issue persists, try cleaning your project (Project → Clean) and rebuilding
  • Make sure you have sufficient disk space for build artifacts
  • Check for any build errors in the console before attempting to run
