Problem Executing Batch File in Pre-Build Event

I\'m trying to execute a batch file during a pre-build event. I have a new project and have added foo.bat to it. The file contains the following line:

Answer 1

It looks like my problem was the length of the path to the batch file. As this was a proof of concept I let VS create it in the default location:

Thanks for the suggestions!
