I am trying to run my program but am currently getting a build error and don't know how to resolve it.

This is the error I am getting:

Build FAILED.

The program I am trying to run was working at home on my laptop but won't run at college. As far as I can tell it is looking for program in wrong location (I drive) but it is in the E drive now.

I would expect the error to be above the "Compile complete" line, so before the part that you posted. – PMF
Usually the paths to projects in the solution file are relative. Also, if a project is not found, it will be listed as unavailable in the solution explorer. The IDE will not try to build it. So I'd suspect that the reason is a missing file in a project or something else. Unfortunately, your log does not tell anything on why the build failed. Maybe you can post some more (especially above the line "Compile complete"). – Markus
This is the line above compile complete: – user3478049

Your project misses the Main method that was defined as its entry point.

  • If it is a console application, it might be that the file that contains the method was missing.
  • If it is another type of application, it might be a misconfiguration in the project settings. Check the startup object in the properties of the project and assert that this value is valid.
