I entered this into my post build events in visual studio.

```auto

Copy "$(OutDir)Info490.exe" "C:\Program Files\OgreSDK\bin\debug\Info490.exe"

```

When building, it just says that there was an error in the post build events but does not say anything specific about what was wrong. Is my syntax wrong?
