I have a project with a post build event:

copy $(ProjectDir)DbVerse\Lunaverse.DbVerse.*.exe  $(TargetDir)

It works fine every time on my machine. I have a new developer who always gets the "exited with code 1" error. I had her run the same command in a DOS prompt, and it worked fine. What could be causing this? Is there any way to get to the real error?

We are both using Visual Studio 2008.

She had a space in one of the folder names in her path, and no quotes around it.
