compiling mediaportal postbuild.bat

[shewless]

I'm trying to compile mediaportal with vs # express.. all goes well but PostBuild.bat exits with code 1.

Looking at the postbuild batch file I see:

rem Check for Microsoft Antispyware .BAT bug
if exist .\kernel32.dll exit 1

Can somebody please please tell me what this means and what I need to do to fix this problem?

Thank you.

Hi,

are you sure the ERRORLEVEL 1 is coming from that part? That part only makes sure the CWD isn't %windir%\system32 (because that's where kernel32.dll resides) and ifso exits because it is executed from the wrong directory.

As the remark already describes, there is / used to be a bug in MS Antispyware where executed batch files will have their current working directory changed to %windir%\system32\. If the batchfile would continue in that case, you'd have a nice copy of a new build in %windir%\system32\ ;-)

You could try to look @ the output generated from the build (View -> Output or CTRL-W,O) and see where the batchfile gives the error.

Kind regards,
Michel

Hmm.. I don't really see any errors from output...

Anyone have any idea why postbuild.bat exits with code 1? it looks like it works correctly, unless there was a file it couldn't copy or something...
