Answer 2

Ok, if I just type the command as is, here is what I get:

Executed as user: domain\user. The process could not be created for step 5 of job 0x44857670148EEE4396BD899313105ECE (reason: The system cannot find the file specified).  The step failed.

Even added the domeain\user to the local admin group.

Answer 3

The command runs fine at the command promt.

Answer 4

Are you specifying a fully-qualified path for each file, including the output?

If you just execute an "Operating System (CmdExec)" step as-is, it will execute using Windows\system32 as the current folder.

You need to add a full path to your 2 source files (and destination for that matter).
