I am wanting to call a command file in visual studio 2013 in a post build event to keep things a little cleaner and more manageable...
the postbuild file lives in the project directory and is getting called.... however because i am using a relative path its not working for me
the project path is
c:\projects\solutionname\product\projectroot\postbuild.cmd and is looking to copy data from other built solutions in the same kind of structure
xcopy /y "..\projectrootofotherproject\bin\Debug\mydll.dll" ".\bin\Debug"
however this keeps on coming up with exited with code 4.
When i run this outside of visual studio it works fine, if i run it when in a powershell or command prompt window when its not in the project \ cmd file dir it complains... because it cant find the file which i believe is down to the relative path.
any help is much appreciated
