Visual Studio Txt file opening

Question

I'm running visual studio in parallels on a macbook air. First time I'm using C++ to open txt files and it seems to work only when debugging but not when I run without debugging.

example code:

ofstream outfile;
outfile.open("Subscription.txt");
if (outfile.is_open())
{
    outfile << name << "\n";
    outfile.close();
    cout << "Welcome to the discount club!" << endl;
}
else
    cout << "file won't open" << endl;

When I run it in the local debugger it outputs "Welcome to.." and when I run it without debugging it outputs "file won't open"

Maybe it's some kind of mac/parallels problem?
