Is there any reason Code Snippets tries to run update.bat - albeit unsuccessfully - as a post build step (on Windows) during the compilation of contrib plugins?
I think it's a bug to add "update.bat" in codesnippets.cbp file.

No, it's not.
Several contrib-plugins have their own
update[.bat]-script to run all post-build-steps through one file.
It's easier to test and to maintain.
These plugins do not run C::B's core
update[.bat]-script !

Oh, thanks. (I was not aware of that :))

Specifically, to create the folders that may not exits.
Is there a reason you say it's unsuccessful. It works here.

Sorry, I had gotten confused reading the log output (or lack thereof :)
> nul 2>&1). If it is unwanted to have the commands themselves in the post build steps:
$(CMD_RM) ..\..\..\output\share\CodeBlocks\plugins\codesnippets.exe
zip -j9 ..\..\..\devel\share\CodeBlocks\codesnippets.zip manifest.xml
$(CMD_MKDIR) ..\..\..\devel\share\CodeBlocks\images\codesnippets
$(CMD_CP) .\resources\*.png ..\..\..\devel\share\CodeBlocks\images\codesnippets\
$(CMD_MKDIR) ..\..\..\output\share\CodeBlocks\images\codesnippets
$(CMD_CP) .\resources\*.png ..\..\..\output\share\CodeBlocks\images\codesnippets\
then perhaps it would be useful to add an explanatory
echo to the beginning of the
update.bat (for example
echo Copying resources) to prevent unnecessary reports from people like me.
