Azure Sphere run error: "not a valid Win32 application"

Hello Everyone,

I am going through this tutorial:

Avnet's Azure Sphere Starter-Kit (Out of Box Demo) Part 1 of 3

and I was able to clone the git hub example project but when I try to run the project I get an error stating that AvnetStarterKitReferenceDesign.out is not a valid Win32 application. Here is a screenshot:

Did anyone get this error? Is it any fix for it?

Best Regards,

Cosmin

Hi David,
thank you for the quick response. It looks like I bumped into this problem before - if I open the project by double-clicking the file name then it works but if I open it from the GUI "open a project or solution" button it gives me that run error. I will use the double-click starting method from now on. Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
