Custom Build Step Paths Between x86 and x64 in Visual Studio
- by Bob Somers
For reference, I'm using Visual Studio 2010.
I have a custom build step defined as follows:
if exist "$(TargetDir)"server.dll copy "$(TargetDir)"server.dll "c:\program files (x86)\myapp\server.dll"
This works great on my desktop, which is running 64-bit Windows. However, when I build on my laptop, c:\Program Files (x86)\ doesn't exist because it's running 32-bit Windows. I'd like to put in something that will work between both editions of Windows, since the project files are under version control and it's a real pain to change the paths every time I work on my laptop.
If this were a *nix environment I'd just create a symlink and be done with it. Any ideas?
