So, this is definitely the reason for the errors. I manually 
removed the ..\'s and was able to get the project to copy.

Note that when the files are separately dragged in they can 
produce different results.

The paths are valid but but it seems like the copy routines do 
not understand relative and mixed paths.

Now I get

created clean copy of the project in 
D:\Projects\Game\Game\Game.dustmite
Failed to make stdin stream inheritable by child process (Access 
is denied.)

so now getting that error about stdin that I get from a fresh 
project... this seems like a bug in Visual D too.
