PostBuildEvent Create Directory

Question

I'm trying to create a folder named Design in the build output folder using th following commandline in the PostBuildEvent in visual studio

mkdir $(TargetDir)Design  ....Runs Successfully but folder is not created mkdir "$(TargetDir)Design" ....Runs Successfully but folder is not created MD $(TargetDir)Design  ....Runs Successfully but folder is not created MD "$(TargetDir)Design"  ....Runs Successfully but folder is not created 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong

Answer 1

You need to do something like:

if not exist DirToCreate mkdir DirToCreate 

Answer 2

This worked for me (where Design is the folder you want to create):

mkdir $(TargetDir)\Design 

If you want to check for existence first:

if not exist $(TargetDir)\Design mkdir $(TargetDir)\Design
