Description
Everytime i try to local windows debug my mod it shows me this (to make quick i use Source sdk base 2013 singleplayer)
"Unable to start program 'E:\Games\My gamesmods\Unexpressed axis mod\src\vgui2\vgui_controls....\lib\public\vgui_controls.lib'.
E:\Games\My gamesmods\Unexpressed axis mod\src\vgui2\vgui_controls....\lib\public\vgui_controls.lib is not a valid Win32 application."

Research direction
Start by checking the local Windows debugger configuration for the Source SDK 2013 single-player mod and the target path shown in the error, especially vgui2/vgui_controls and lib/public/vgui_controls.lib. Determine why the debugger is being given a .lib file instead of a runnable program; done means the configured debug/test action starts the mod without the Win32 application error.
