Post-Build Event, Copy command not correct?

Question

I am trying to do the following:

set strSolutionDir= "$(SolutionDir).."
 
SET SeaProjectPATH= %strSolutionDir%\$(ProjectName)\bin
SET SeaMainMenuPATH= %strSolutionDir%\seamainmenu\bin

    COPY /Y %SeaProjectPATH%\$(ProjectName).dll   %SeaMainMenuPATH%\$(ProjectName).dll
    COPY /Y %SeaProjectPATH%\$(ProjectName).pdb %SeaMainMenuPATH%\$(ProjectName).pdb

SET SeaProjectCrystalPATH= %strSolutionDir%\$(ProjectName)\CrystalFiles
SET SeaMainMenuCrystalPATH= %strSolutionDir%\seamainmenu\bin\CrystalFiles

attrib -r %SeaMainMenuCrystalPATH%\*.*

COPY /Y %SeaProjectCrystalPATH%\*.rpt   %SeaMainMenuCrystalPATH%\

however, the last COPY command is not correct. The output says "The system cannot find the path specified."

What am I doing wrong?

I find these can be a PITA to debug when I have them. Have you tried

echo %SeaProjectCrystalPATH%
DIR %SeaProjectCrystalPATH%\*.rpt

Those will help identify if the SOURCE of the copy is there and DIR %SeaMainMenuCrystalPATH%

This will help identify if the DESTINATION of the copy is there.
