Perhaps it has something to do with what file you are copying or the type of project you are working on. I just tried it by 
copying the ".project" file in a command-line application (using the format: copy "./.filename" to "targetdir/.filename"), and 
it worked with no issues.

I am assuming that when you say, "When I compile it," that you are meaning creating an executable and running that. That's what 
I did.
