VS2015 devenv.exe exited with code 1 in post build event

I have a VC++ 2012 project opened by VS2015. Both VS2012 and VS2015 are installed on my computer. I added post build event:

devenv.exe "$(SolutionPath)" /Build "$(Configuration)Dll|$(Platform)" /Project "$(ProjectPath)"

The evaluated value is:

devenv.exe "C:\Users\Wang-Tzu-Chao\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\KORAT\NCUTAS.sln" /Build "DebugDll|x64" /Project "C:\Users\Wang-Tzu-Chao\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\KORAT\OCRScan\TinyOCR.vcxproj"

After I right-click the project -> rebuild, I keep receiving the following error:

Error MSB3073 The command "devenv.exe "C:\Users\Wang-Tzu-Chao\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\KORAT\NCUTAS.sln" /Build "DebugDll|x64" /Project "C:\Users\Wang-Tzu-Chao\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\KORAT\OCRScan\TinyOCR.vcxproj" :VCEnd" exited with code 1. ocrscan C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets 134

The error XML log look like this:

I need your help, please, and thank you!

Solution

  • After I change the command to the following format, everything works:

    "$(DevEnvDir)devenv.exe" /Build "DebugDll|x64" /Project "$(ProjectName)" "$(ProjectPath)"

    The DebugDll|x64 is the custom build config added to the VC2012 project.
