VS2008: Running an executable for a project that is not an active project in a solution

In VS2008, is it possible to run an executable for a project that is not an active project in a solution? (i.e. his name is not in bold).

Don't debug it - just run it. As far as I can see, you just need to go to Windows Explorer and double click on the .exe! Am I missing a menu item or shortcut?

  • Right click on your solution and select Properties .
  • Select General Properties > Run Project .
  • Select Multiple Launch Projects .
  • Next to the one you want to start where it says No, change it to Start Without Debugging .


Does it do what you want?

You can right click on the project to debug it. Right click on the project -> Debug -> Start New Instance.



EDIT: I'm not sure if it's possible to do this outside of debug mode. This is what the Active Project object is for. I usually install the active project and then launch the app with Shift + F5.
