title: How to copy .exe from output directory on project/solution build automatically in Visual Studio
body: <p>So looking at this post, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4596508/">VS2010 How to include files in project, to copy them to build output directory automatically during build or publish</a>. </p>
  
  <p>This seems to be pretty close to what I am looking to do, however what I want is to have the .exe that is built be copied to a second output directory.</p>
  
  <p>To help explain, when I build/rebuild my project/solution the .exe's are put in</p>
  
  <p><code>[somepath]\Projects\[NameOfSolution]\[NameOfProject]\bin\Release\outputFile.exe</code></p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do is have visual studio automatically make a copy of that <code>outputFile.exe</code> to some other directory, like say a server share on the network that I have read/write access to. The catch is that server share is not always available since I write my code on a traveling laptop. So need to have some sort of logic to check for that I guess...</p>
  
  <p>I truly don't even know where to begin; if it's even possible to do it in Visual Studio. I tried looking into post-build actions in my project settings, but I have no idea what to do in the dialog box. I tried Googling how to do it, but since I don't even know how to explain what I want very well, the google results were useless.</p>
