I am using WinCE 4.2 and I always get error executing xcopy when i try to
build a platform based on an Xscale BSP. The only way I can get rid of this
is by closing PB, reopening, cleaning and rebuilding. Is there another
solution?

What is the error? Are you running it, or is it running from buildrel?

Its from the buildrel phase. When I use Build - Build Platform from the PB
IDE, I get this error "Error executing xcopy"

What happens if you open the release directory and try running xcopy?

He just wants to be sure that xcopy can be found! You know, try some things
to isolate the problem...

of course, xcopy is there. I have checked it from the release directory.
moreover, it just works fine when i rebuild or build after a clean

At the point where it is failing, open the build release directory from the
PB environment and try to copy over the top of some existing file that is
present. You might also check to see if you have an environment variable
which is setting non-standard XCOPY options, COPYCMD (maybe there's an
option set which is turning on the read-only attribute for all target files
and you are sourcing the same EXE or DLL file name both from the PUBLIC
branch and your own code -- a clone of something, maybe). Sorry I wasn't
more specific...

RM,

Can you try something for me? The next time you see the error, open up a
command window (any cmd window will do) and type
XCOPY /?.

If xcopy displays help then the problem is somewhere in the build, itself.

If xcopy crashes, go into \\windows\system32, and look for ifsutil.dll.
Make sure it is NOT compressed (right-click | properties... | advanced...).
This should fix the problem.
