Build events not honoring multiple command-line arguments

Question

I have the following as my post-build event in a C# .NET 4.0 project in Visual Studio 2010:

call \"$(SolutionDir)Publish\\Publish.exe\" \"$(TargetDir)\" \"\\

While working on another project, I actually managed to replicate your problem. I was passing multiple args to a powershell script and found that they were being treated as a single argument. Googling found this link

Which has the solution of putting a space at the end of the first parameter i.e. in your example it would be

call "$(SolutionDir)Publish\Publish.exe" "$(TargetDir) " "\\lithium\c\Photon"

This worked for me so hopefully it will fix your problem.

If you have more than 2 args then you would need to add a space at the end of each except for the last one.
