Hello,

I've got solution which consist of some managed dlls (in C#) and one mixed
mode C++ dll, which references managed dlls. Everytime I build solution I
got a message when VS is trying to copy referenced assemblies to mixed mode
assembly build directory.

Copying assemblies to target directory...
'xcopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copying
assemblies to target directory..."

Strange is that it happens only on 2 machines out of 4. On the other 2
everything works ok.

Do you know how to workaround this problem ?

Thanks,

Szymek Madejczyk

Is xcopy.exe present and in the PATH? It should be in %windir%\system32.

Yes, it is.

Ok, I found that copying xcopy.exe to VS.NET_ROOT/Common7/Ide (despite PATH
set to xcopy location in Windows/System32) solves that problem.
But problems comes back when I use command line devenv.exe for project
build. I don't know where to put xcopy to make it work.
