That is correct. There a 2 modes you can build an application in. Debug and Release So far you only have been working in debug mode. So only the "Debug"-folder exist. Change the build mode to "Release" and Visual Studio will create a release folder for you. The exe in the debug mode is fully functional and you can copy this one as well to other places. The exe in the debug mode more information to the outside world, so it is better to distribute a release mode exe. Also in debug mode you can use the compiler directive #if DEBUG and of course in release mode you can use #if RELEASE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CCTnMgRixM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl2rIuP2J7Q

You need to build your program in release mode then you'll have the release folder. But what kind of project is that?
