I know this is too late for sure  but  this could help someone as well    In my case  i found that the source file is being used by another process which was restricting from copying to the destination  I found that by using command prompt   just copy paste the post build command to the command prompt and executed gave me the error info     Make sure that you can copy from the command prompt

The first step is figuring out what the error actually is   In order to do this expand your MsBuild output to be diagnostic   This will reveal the actual command executed and hopefully the full error message as well   Tools -  Options  Projects and Solutions -  Build and Run Change  MsBuild project build output verbosity  to  Diagnostic

This builds on the answer from JaredPar    and is for VS2017   The same  Build and Run  options are present in Visual Studio 2017   I was getting  The command  chmod  x     exited with code 1  In the build output window  I searched for  Error  and found a few errors in the same general area   I was able to click on a link in the build output  and found that the error involved this entry in the  targets file      lt Target Name  ChmodChromeDriver  BeforeTargets  BeforeBuild  Condition     WebDriverPlatform       win32   gt       lt Exec Command  chmod  x  amp quot   ChromeDriverSrcPath  amp quot     gt     lt  Target gt    In the build output  I also found a more detailed error message that essentially stated that it couldn t find Selenium WebDriver ChromeDriver v2 36 in the packages folder it was looking in   I checked the project s NuGet packages  and version 2 36 was indeed in the list of installed packages   I did find the package files for 2 36  and changed the attributes on the folder  subfolders and files from  Read Only  to  Read Write    Built  but same failure   Sometimes  updating  to a different version of the package and then updating back to the original can fix this type of error   So I  updated  the reference in Manage NuGet packages to 2 37  built  failed  then  updated  back to 2 36  built  and the build succeeded without the  chmod  x  error message   The project I was building was based on a Visual Studio Project template for Appium test tooling  template name  Develop Automated Test

Check your paths  If you are using a separate build server for TFS  most likely   make sure that all your paths in the  csproj file match the TFS server paths   I got the above error when checking in the   csproj file when it had references to my development machine paths and not the TFS server paths   Remove multi-line commands  Also  try and remove multi-line commands into single-line commands in xml as a precaution   I had the following xml in the   proj that caused issues in TFS    lt Exec Condition  bl     Command   Blah          lt  Exec gt    Changing the above xml to this worked      lt Exec Condition  bl    Command   Blah      lt  Exec gt
