How to set startup executable for a VC++ project?

This is a pretty novice question, but I've been trying to build and run Ghostscript using Visual Studio 2012. When I try to do "Start Debugging" or "Start Without Debugging" the project builds fine, but then I get the error "Unable to start program 'C:...\ghostscript-9.07\debugobj\ghostscript.exe"

The project never outputs a ghostscript.exe file when compiled. It outputs "gswin32.exe" in the debugbuild directory, which is the file I need to run after compilation. I think Visual Studio is looking for debugobj\ghostscript.exe because the project is named "ghostscript" and debugobj is configured as the output directory.

Is there some kind of configuration setting I can set to specify that debugbuild\gswin32.exe is the executable that should be run after building?

Thanks.

Yes there is. From the Project menu go into Properties and review the settings in the Debug section.
