As I try to compile a project in VS2012 I have this result: The command "....\tools\bin\nuget pack Packages\Lib.Html.nuspec - OutputDirectory ....\bin\Zip\Packages -NoPackageAnalysis" exited with code 1. I looked for the line of code in my .csproj file, where the error should be, and there is: Error Msb3073 The Command Exited With Code 1

pack $(ProjectDir)Packages\Lib.Html.nuspec -OutputDirectory $(OutputPath)Packages -NoPackageAnalysis" /> What am I doing wrong? [EDIT] Launching the Debug of that project and ignoring "building errors", I have a new alert: "Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target '[project.exe path]' is missing.

Try to have a look at the "Output" view. There may be additional information. –Tewr Mar 3 '14 at 16:05 Yes, by result I meant Error List. Unfortunately that project is just a class library, but if I start to Debug and I ignore "building errors" a VS alert appears, I edit my question. Hoping it can help :) –krvl Mar 3 '14 at 16:13 Again, try to have a look at the "Output" view. iIs there additional information in this window?

This is because of the post-build event not being able to go through. Here's what solves the problem, temporarily Sometimes: A restart of Visual Studio and I'm able to exited with code build the solution Sometimes: Both a restart of Visual Studio and my file manager of choice (Q-Dir 4.37) solves it. Here's what the post-build event looks like: xcopy "$(SolutionDir)Solution Items\References\*.dll" "$(TargetDir)" /Y When you get the command copy exited with code [insert value] error, it's normally because of the following: read / write permissions missing files wrong directories However - obviously at times when I build the solution, there's no problem. FYI, I uninstalled ReSharper 5.1.1 two weeks ago and Visual Studio's been giving me some errors since then (among them not being able to debug). I re-installed Visual Studio and it's working better since then, but still get this problem. Could it have to do with some ReSharper stuff being somewhere? Have you had the same problem and solved it? Or do you have any possible solution to it? Cheers. visual-studio share|improve this question asked Oct 5 '10 at 7:03 Martin S. 9562918 add a comment| 21 Answers 21 active oldest votes up vote 64 down vote accepted I've invariably found this to be a file locking issue. Code 4 is Cannot Access File. One partial solution I found is to use the /C option for xcopy (which continues on error). Not really a solution

either just before the build of the app or after it. So go to Project Properties -> Build Events and check if there are any pre-build events or post-build events with any copy command. This usually happens when you get a version of legacy code that some other developer has written and are working on some fixes. First check if there are any discrepancies with the copy command syntax or the directory path mentioned therein. If you can't resolve the error because of constraints such as not being able to change the directory structure, just get rid of the commands for the time-being and continue with your dev. You can later on figure out what the original intent of the previous developer was and go for the solution. 73 Comments Verry good post... Cheers Bogdan - Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:26:14 AM If this is happening with code written by another developer, which you are now working on - you should check that the paths you are copying to and from do not contain spaces. A folder name with a space character will cause this error. Libby - Friday, June 13, 2008 10:22:22 AM Really a great post, Specially comment made by Libby was very useful for me. As the path i was using to copy files contained spaces and was causing this error.

Purva - Wednesday, July 23, 2008 6:31:31 AM Enclosing paths with double quotes solves the space character problem, for example: copy "path1/files.*" "path2/" olli m - Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:45:10 PM THanks a lot .. It helped Mannu - Thursday, October 23, 2008 12:53:43 PM My problem was the read only attribute on the file to cover. Thus, I've solved using an "attrib" command before copying: attrib -R $(SolutionDir)Public\PublicUI\Bin\mydll.* copy $(TargetDir)mydll.* $(SolutionDir)Public\PublicUI\Bin Antonio from Italy :-) - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 10:17:49 PM Saved me some frustration as well. Lesson learned: never put spaces in your username. Josh Kodroff - Friday, December 12, 2008 2:30:41 AM Thank you, thank you, I had spaces in path! wrt - Tuesday, January 6, 2009 8:16:03 AM Yes!
