Deployment Script

To aid development efficiency, automatically copy the custom display plugin DLL to ATLAS program files after each successful build.

• Create a deployment batch file

  • Add a scripts folder under Solution
  • Create deploy.bat file with the following contents

  NET SESSION >nul 2>&1
  IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (
      IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\McLaren Applied Technologies\ATLAS 10\" (
          xcopy /r /y %1 "C:\Program Files\McLaren Applied Technologies\ATLAS 10"
      ) ELSE (
          echo "No Atlas installation detected - skip deploying"
      )
  ) ELSE (
      echo "This script requires admin privileges - skip deploying"
      exit /b 0
  )
  

  • Add deploy.bat to scripts folder

  

• Add a post build step via project settings

  call "$(SolutionDir)scripts\deploy.bat" "$(TargetDir)$(ProjectName).dll“
  

  

Attention

Special permissions are needed to write to program files, therefore you will need to run Visual Studio as Administrator
