XCOPY /Y "$(BuiltOuputPath)" "\\LOCALHOST\_INSTALL" - what is \\LOCALHOST?

I am trying to build a solution that fails with th开发者_运维知识库e PostBuildEvent:

XCOPY /Y "$(BuiltOuputPath)" "\LOCALHOST_INSTALL"

It gives the error:

Starting post-build events...

Invalid drive specification

0 File(s) copied

I can access \LOCALHOST but it's empty and I can't create the folder _INSTALL. Is \LOCALHOST some kind of local network folder or how is it used?

\\Localhost is the name of your machine. _INSTALL would be a share located on your machine.

You would need to share a folder out and give it the share name of _INSTALL ensuring you apply the relevant permissions to the share.

Localhost is the network name of your local machine :)

localhost is the name of your local PC.

\\localhost\_install refers to a share on your local PC called _install.
