How can I resolve the error: "The command [...] exited with code 1"?

Right click project -> Properties -> Build Events

Remove the text in Post-build event command line text block


The first step is figuring out what the error actually is. In order to do this expand your MsBuild output to be diagnostic. This will reveal the actual command executed and hopefully the full error message as well

  • Tools -> Options
  • Projects and Solutions -> Build and Run
  • Change "MsBuild project build output verbosity" to "Diagnostic".

Try to open Visual Studio as admin.


For me : I have a white space in my path's folder name G:\Other Imp Projects\Mi.....

Solution 1 :

Remove white space from folder

Example: Other Imp Projects ->> Other_Imp_Projects

Solution 2:

add Quote ("") for your path.

Example: mkdir "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)Configurations" //see double quotes
