Do you escape backslashes in path?

I.e. instead of

     command="C:\Path\To\MyExecutable.exe"

should be

     command="C:\\Path\\To\\MyExecutable.exe"

or, more preferable,


     command=r"C:\Path\To\MyExecutable.exe"

If this is not the problem, can you post logs/exceptions/errors that you 
see when running such build?
