Error Msb3073 The Command Copy /y
it only takes a minute: Sign up What is going wrong when Visual Studio tells me “xcopy exited with code 4” up vote 70 down vote favorite 7 I'm not very familiar with post-build events, so I'm a little confused as to what's going wrong with my program. When compiling in visual studio 2010, I get the following: The command
Error Msb3073 The Command Setlocal
"xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\Library\dsoframer.ocx C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\ApplicationFiles C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D xcopy C:\Users\Me\Path\url\ C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\ /Y /E /D rmdir /S /Q C:\Users\Me\Path\Foo.bar\bin\Debug\.gwt-tmp" exited with code 4. The program appears to run fine, despite this error, but I don't want to just ignore this issue and hope nothing bad happens. Strangely, this line started out as only a single command (the first xcopy) but as I continued to compile the project (fixing other problems, mostly references) the error message expanded larger and larger. Any idea what could be going on? Edit: Here are the postbuild events that seem to be failing -- xcopy $(ProjectDir)Library\dsoframer.ocx $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D xcopy $(ProjectDir)ApplicationFiles $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D xcopy $(SolutionDir)com.myUrl.gwt\www $(TargetDir) /Y /E /D rmdir /S /Q $(TargetDir).gwt-tmp c# visual-studio-2010 visual-studio-2012 xcopy share|improve this question edited Mar 31 '14 at 13:41 Arafat 5971517 asked Apr 11 '11 at 19:37 Raven Dreamer 2,79394077 Apart from answers below, also make sure to open VS with Administrator privileges.

It helped me… need to remove everything present in the error msb3073 the post build events section… Reply James said: August 7, 2014 at 12:32 pm Sorry, but that's like saying "I have a flat tire, so to resolve the issue I'll remove the tire." You may find that you actually need that tire… A better solution might be to look into adding parameters which may resolve your issue: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?mfr=true Reply garigamo said: September 29, 2014 at 4:09 pm Thanks.
