I was researching online, I think it has to do something with relative pathing; but I'm not sure. Can someone help explain what is wrong and how to fix this?

For anyone else that comes across this question my problem was that the target directory contained spaces i.e.

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\projects\blah

So for me the solution was to wrap $(TargetDir) in double quotes i.e.

copy ..\resources\\* "$(TargetDir)" /Y

In my case the problem was that VC++ was trying to copy a .dll file into a system folder. Running it as administrator fixed the problem.

I had the following situation: I was trying to overwrite write-protected files with an post-build event copy. I need some time to find it out because I copied various files, some were copied with success some not. But for all events an error was displayed. In the example below copy event 4, 5 and 6 failed which was indicated before the error with "Zugriff verweigert" (engl.: access denied):

Get it. I have set up a post build event to run the unit tests automatically after each build. Delete this configure, can solve this.
