A project can have only one AfterBuild target. Placement is critical, make sure it appears after any directive so you can be sure it is last and the default one is overridden. Bump up the priority of the so you can always see it.

Output:

1>------ Build started: Project: ConsoleApplication317, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>  ConsoleApplication317.vcxproj -> C:\projects2\ConsoleApplication317\Debug\ConsoleApplication317.exe
1>  It works
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
