How to build a simple HelloWorld C++ console application and execute it on an Azure node?

Question

Hi I would like to build a simple HelloWorld C++ console application in Visual Studio and execute it on an Azure node.

• Project Setup: I built the project in Visual Studio following the instructions provided in this documentation. I specifically aimed for a 64-bit debug build.
• Error Message: Upon execution on the Azure node, I received the following error: CppHelloWorld.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.
• Environment Information: The Azure node's OS is Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Azure.

Here is the vcxproj file of the project CppHelloWorld.vcxproj.txt.

I'd appreciate any insights into why the version compatibility issue is occurring and how I can resolve it.

Thank you for your assistance!

Answer 1

Ah, this question can be ignored :) I don't really understand the cause, but I found a package under "MyProject\x64\Debug" and it works fine on nodes.
