DLLs not being saved in VC++ 2008

I'm running VS 2008 under Win 7 64-bit with UAC on the default setting so that might have something to do with this, but just posting on here to see if anyone else has had the problem since I couldn't find it on google searches. Not sure if I have VS service packs installed (none show up on the about box other than .NET 3.5 SP1).

I don't normally work in C/C++ but just need to create a small managed C++ class library but when I build for some reason the .DLL file is not being saved, though neither the compiler or linker are giving any errors.

I've tried both a simple Win32 DLL and a .NET class library. When I build a managed library the output directory ends up with .OBJ files and a TestLibrary.dll.intermediate-manifest, but no .DLL itself. Same story with an unmanaged one.

I also tried creating an EXE project, not ticking the "empty project" checkbox and get a "Microsoft Incremental Linker has stopped working" message when I try to build, followed by LNK1000: Internal error during IncrBuildImage.

Check all the build settings in your project and make sure that the destination directories are pointing to the correct places.

Never mind I've figured it out - just going mad lol.
The final executables / DLLs were being saved in the solution debug folder rather than the project debug folder. :doh:
