I need to run an executable as a pre or post build event.

I tried calling the executable from my project directory and the program could not find a certain .dll that I am using, even though both projects have a reference to the same .dll.

 call "$(ProjectDir)SearchIndexBuilder.exe"

I just tried to call the same executable from the bin (target directory) and it ran without the dll error. Does anyone know why? I don't want to keep the executable there though, since I believe it would be bad practice.

 call "$(TargetDir)SearchIndexBuilder.exe"

Also, can I traverse up/down directories in the build events? Can I concatenate '..\' or something similar to do so?
