I am trying to deploy a code using Release management but getting excpetion :

exception Message: Release build failed (type Exception) Exception Stack Trace: at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)

I edited build definition and disabled the Release trigger. Then build gets succeeded without triggering a release but If I start manual release from RM client with latest build that just created it fails with error message :

Look at the log. Exit code 4 is from xcopy. Initialization error occurred. There is not enough memory or disk space, or you entered an invalid drive name or invalid syntax on the command line. – Daniel Mann

Please refer this question for troubleshooting: What is going wrong when Visual Studio tells me "xcopy exited with code 4"

Xcopy exit code 4 means "Initialization error occurred. There is not enough memory or disk space, or you entered an invalid drive name or invalid syntax on the command line."

It looks like Visual Studio is supplying invalid arguments to xcopy. Check your post-build event command via Project Properties > Right Click > Build Events > Post Build Event.

Note that if the $(ProjectDir) or similar macro terms have spaces in the resulting paths when expanded, then they will need to be wrapped in double quotes.

And the error can also occur when the destination folder is read-only, please also check this in the deployed server.
