Post-build Event error visual studio 2008

Question

Hi, what's wrong with this post-build event? I want to copy the entire contents of a resources folder over to the target directory while maintaining the but it keeps exiting with code 1:

copy $(SolutionDir)$(ProjectName)\Resources*.* $(TargetDir)Resources\

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It's probably not running from the directory you think it's running from.

Answer 2

Try

xcopy /Y $(ProjectDir)Resources\*.* $(TargetDir)Resources\

That is probably the most robust as it will also create the directory for you if it doesn't already exist.

Answer 3

Try copy /Y $(SolutionDir)$(ProjectName)\Resources*.* $(TargetDir)Resources\
