\"Microsoft<\/a>
\nWithin a Visual Studio C++ solution, you can copy a file to a known location as part of the build process.<\/p>\n

To do that, you have so set the “Custom Build Step” parameters found in the Visual Studio project’s property page:<\/p>\n

Command line: copy \"$(InputPath)\" \"$(TargetDir)\" > nul
\nDescription: Copying $(InputFileName)
\nOutputs: $(TargetDir)$(InputFileName)<\/code><\/p>\n

Note, the first line is the actual copy command. If you want to see the command without executing it, you can place @echo in front of the command.<\/p>\n

Also note, the second line prints some text to the output screen, so you know what is going on.<\/p>\n

For some projects, I have to run Visual Studio in adminstrator mode, otherwise the IDE is unable to copy the file to the restricted location.<\/p>\n

I found instructions on how to run Visual Studio in administrative mode at: gottoknow dot com<\/a> :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click the ‘Start’ button.<\/li>\n
  2. Click ‘All Programs’<\/li>\n
  3. In the menu, locate and click on the folder that says ‘Microsoft Visual Studio 2010’ (your version might be 2005, or 2008).<\/li>\n
  4. Now right-click on the ‘Microsoft Visual Studio 2010’ program file, which will bring up the ‘Properties’ pop-up box.<\/li>\n
  5. Select the ‘Compatibility’ tab, and then in the Privilege Level section, check the box next to “Run this program as an administrator”<\/li>\n
  6. Click the ‘Apply’ button, then click the ‘OK’ button.<\/li>\n
  7. Now each time you open Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, it will be running in (Administrator) mode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
