Well, I didn't have full success.

The XDft build ended with the following error:

The command "copy C:\digirite-build\binWin32\*.dll C:\Users\Steve
Lund\source\repos\Digi-Rite\Digi-XDft\Win32\Release\:VCEnd" exited with
code 1.

Not sure where the :VCEnd is coming from.

Typing this into a CMD prompt does work:

copy "C:\digirite-build\binWin32\*.dll" "C:\Users\Steve
Lund\source\repos\Digi-Rite\Digi-XDft\Win32\Release\"

Because most of the files are longer than DOS 8.3 quotes are need around
the directory paths.

The DigiRite build ended with the following error:

The command "copy C:\Users\Steve
Lund\source\repos\Digi-Rite\\Digi-XDft\Win32\Release\*.* C:\Users\Steve
Lund\Source\Repos\Digi-Rite\bin\x86\Release\" exited with code 1.

Note there are two "\\" in the first directory name; and again quotes are
needed around the directory paths.

Typing this into a CMD prompt does work:

copy "C:\Users\Steve
Lund\source\repos\Digi-Rite\Digi-XDft\Win32\Release\*.*" "C:\Users\Steve
Lund\Source\Repos\Digi-Rite\bin\x86\Release\"


Why am I experiencing these errors?

I was afraid to run Register.exe because of these problems. The
DigiRite.exe runs fine.
