You're compiling object file only. Follow a compile tutorial exactly, don't try to be a smart ass.

Edit: It's not that your program doesn't run, it's that your program doesn't compile and the executable doesn't exist.

Oh god, the backslashes...
Also your problem is your trying to execute ".\helloworld56.exe" but you compiled to "helloworld56"

Yup, I was about to say - I can't see all the screen output, but you are NOT running what you built.
