Error
Could not copy the file "D:\GitHub\react-native-gallery\NewArch\windows\x64\Release\Clipboard\Clipboard.dll" because it was not found.
Cause
For some reason there's a reference specifically to Release in here, which means if you build debug but not release... it'll fail.
I'm a bit concerned this wasn't caught by CI, because that means the Gallery isn't being built in debug in CI?
Seems to have regressed here: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-gallery/commit/64b511a5d90b1ea09b51541cd24505053c39a393
