The copying is currently grabbing it from the system install provided
by Craft (at C:\Craft\CI\windows-msvc2017_64-cl-debug\bin\data) and
copying it to the local application install directory (at
$WORKSPACE\install-prefix\bin\data). The copy is done for the whole of
bin\data\ so it should grab everything.
My guess is that instead of copying it to the install prefix it needs
to go to $WORKSPACE\build\bin\data\?
(I thought the ECM stuff handled this though)
