@Melebius Remove the prompt text so we can see the code. Screen shots don't have code attribute and are unnecessary — ACatInLove, Jan 12 '18 at 09:17
@ACatInLove The paths could be shortened but it is important to keep the information (which [your suggestion](https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/18496558) removed) that the command is used to change the drive. Moreover, this question seems to be duplicate, so it does not deserve the care to make it perfect. — Melebius, Jan 12 '18 at 10:03

you can set "Working directory" in your build step

Or you can change the agent property. Open buildagent.property file and change the parameter workDir=C:\AUTOEBCDeployment\dist

Had you read the help information from CD /? you'd have spotted the correct syntax is:

CD /D "C:\AUTOEBCDeployment\dist"

The doublequotes are optional but recommended.
