Answer 1

Use a Post Build Event to copy the files. Be sure the browser hawk files build action is set to "do not copy". Then goto your project properties, select the "Build Events" tab and add the following to the Post-build event command line:

copy "$(ProjectDir)\common\browserhawk*.*" "$(TargetDir)"

Be sure to include the quotes if your project path has spaces in it.
