MSBuild Copy Goes To A Different (Incorrect) Location

I have the following in my .CSPROJ file

<Target Name="PostPublish" BeforeTargets="MSDeployPublish">
<Exec WorkingDirectory="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)"
Command='robocopy $(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Love $(PublishDir)\Love /S /COPY:DATS /NP /NFL /NDL /v' ContinueOnError="true" />
</Target>

Now the folder Love in Web Project is going to bin\app.publish instead of the Web Deploy location. Is there a different variable for Web Deploy location other than $(PublishDir) or should I use this in a different event other than BeforeTargets?

    Hi lavanyadeepak,

    You need to confirm if the PublishDir is the specified path in your csproj file. And maybe you can create a <DotNetPublishFiles> to publish the files to your specified directory.

    Best Regards, Dylan
