Your subject says "C++" but you have started this
thread using the tag for C# (dotnet-csharp). So
which language are you actually using?
If C# then change the Subject to "C#" instead of "C++",
If C++ then change the "Tag" for the thread from
dotnet-csharp to C++.
Regardless of which language is actually being used,
you will need to provide more details than what you
have so far. If there is a popup message on screen
perhaps you can post a capture/clip of that.
If it happens with a small code example, post the
code being used (copy & paste).
Describe step by step what you are doing from start
to end, when the exception occurs. Does it happen
as soon as you try to start a new console project,
before you have added any code, or after adding
code but before trying to build? Or does it happen
as soon as you try to do a Build? Or as soon as you
try to "Run"?
Give us something with which to work.

According to the error message, this is an exception raised in an extension.
Can updating or simply disabling the extension solve the problem?
An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension in Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio itself can sometimes cause this problem. You can also try to update Visual Studio (if a new version is available) or delete some cache files.

When I run the debugger it says 'Unable to start program: consoleapplication1.exe' and 'The system cannot find the path specified'.
When I run the debugger it says 'Unable to start
program: consoleapplication1.exe'
That message usually means that there were build errors.
If a compile error or a link error occurs then no exe
will be created. So naturally it can't find the program
to start it.
Always do a Build and check for success before trying to
Run the program being built. Fix all errors and warnings
from the Build and only try Run when you have a clean build.
