I have the following post-build step in a VC++ 2005 project that calls a Python 2.5.1 script: postbuild.py postbuild.py does: import os os.system('cd') # cd is just a test, could be anything The process never starts, and it's the same with any other process I try, even using subprocess.call or Popen instead of os.system. Does anyo...

On a successful build, I wish to copy the contents of the output directory to a different location under the same "base" folder. This parent folder is a relative part and can vary based on Source Control settings.

I have a post-build event that runs some commands for a c# project. The last command would sometimes cause the ERRORLEVEL value not equils to zero and then the build fails. I want to append an extra line of command to always set the ERRORLEVEL value to zero. What is the most convenient way to do that? ...

I just wrote a little program which will be executed as a post-build step when I compile certain projects. This program returns 0 for success, or some number for failure. In case of failure, Visual Studio then correctly outputs: "The command [...] exited with code n." However, a single number is not always helpful. In my case, I actual...
Hello :) I'm trying to setup a post-build command for CMake, which I have done using the ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND directive as stated in the CMake documentation. What I'd like to do though, is only have the post-build run if I am creating a release build of my executable. How does one accomplish this? Thanks in advance :) Billy3 ...
I've got this ASP.NET 2.0 project that I've been working on for a while now. Over time the project grew little by little and in the end I ended up with quite a few steps that I had to run at the end, every time I wanted to publish the project. So, I wrote a script that I can run which executes all the clean-up steps for me and which is...

In Visual Studio postbuild, I need to run a batch file. The solution is potentially on a different drive to that which Visual Studio is running from. In postbuild, how do I determine the drive letter that the solution is running from so I can change to that drive before running the batch file? At the moment, all I have is this: CD $(Pro...
I am working on a VS solution that utilizes the post-build events to copy files into a deployment project that packages the files. Does anyone know if there is any best practice in how to move files around to place in an MSI? ...
In Visual Studio (2008) is it possible to force the Post-Build Event for a C++ project to run even if the project is up-to-date? Specifically, I have a project which builds a COM in-process server DLL. The project has a post-build step which runs "regsvr32.exe $(TargetPath)". This runs fine on a "Rebuild", but runs on a "Build" only if ...
I would like to know if there is a DOS-Command in WinXP to create shortcuts (to an executable). I'm looking for DOS-Command if it is available, not a batch or script file (I'm only finding batch files and vbscipts when I search online). Just to give you a background on what i'm doing, I would like Visual Studio 2005 to create a short...
Is there anyway to use compiler constants in Build Events in Visual Studio - VB.NET? (especially in Post-Build events) Scenario If TEST_EDITION=TRUE is defined I want to run an executable during the Post-Build event so if it's FALSE then I'll run something else. This can be used for creating different installers for different editions...
