EnergyPlus source code not executing properly

Hi,

I downloaded the source code and followed the instructions given on https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus.

If I use the "run without debugging" or the "debug" option from within Visual Studio, I get the following error: "Unable to start Program: C:\Users\Rehan\Documents\Github\EnergyPlus\Buildd\Debug\All-Build. Access is denied".

Secondly, point # 8 on the link given above says to "manually set the target to EP in visual studio". I am not able to do that. Maybe that is what is causing the issue.

My code builds in both debug and release mode but if I run it using EP launch as well, it does not respond to the changes I made. Rather follows the original installation that I have.

Can anyone suggest what may be happening and a possible fix to the issue.
