When I run the example in Visual Studio Code, it post error that

```auto
#include “openfhe.h”
^ ~~~~~~~~~~
There is no such file in the directory gcc

```

I installed the OpenFHE in WSL, and the example does successfully run in terminal. I confirm these head files have built in correct path `/usr/local/include/pke` et al…  
I have added following code in `setting.json` of Visual Studio Code:

```auto
    "C_Cpp.default.includePath": [
        "/usr/local/include/openfhe/core",
        "/usr/local/include/openfhe/pke",
        "/usr/local/include/openfhe/cereal"
    ]

```

I have no idea the problem is 😭

Can you confirm that you have the file “openfhe.h” in your /usr/local/include/openfhe/pke directory?

Yes, I think the file “openfhe.h” is in right directory

Hi, i am trying to run an example in Visual Studio Code (Windows 11), i applied the steps on the OpenFHE document. cmake… and make commands are working true and an output file are built " xxx.exe". But i can’t run the output file.

ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected GDB output from command “-exec-run”. During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.

How can i solve this problem?

Sorry, I have no idea about your problem.  
But I truly suggest you try again in Linux, which easily installs and uses this software.
