>I have a project that has a number of dlls and a single exe (which
>loads the libraries at runtime with LoadLibrary) as outputs. In the
>dlls' Post-Build Event I copy each dll to a 'stage' location, which is
>the working directory for the exe during debugging.
>
>I would like to have a Pre-Build Event for each dll that deletes the
>dll from the stage area so as to avoid debugging with old code. 'del
>$stagepath\$(TargetFileName)' works only if the dll exists in the
>stage area, otherwise the compiler tells me:
>error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing
>Pre-Build Event..."

>Is there any way in the IDE to ignore the result of the 'del' command?
> Is there another way to have this command always return a success
>status?
