I'm using MSBuild to build Delphi 2010 projects. It works fine. The only problem I have is that it creates 2 empty directories (Bpl and Dcp) in drive's root directory.
Is there any way to prevent MSBuild from creating these directories?

Seems like a Delphi bug to me. Have you contacted them regarding this?

If it's MS Build creating them, it's either an issue with MS Build or an issue with the project configuration. Neither of those would be a "Delphi bug".

A:
This sounds like an issue with either the
Project|Options|Delphi Compiler|Output directory or Package output directoryconfiguration, or the
Tools|Options|Delphi Options|Package output directory or DCP output directory. You might check to see if you somehow have those set to the root of the drive or simply to .
FWIW, I use MSBuild from the commandline quite often, and I've never seen a DCP or BPL directory created anywhere I didn't specifically ask for them. I'm pretty sure this is simply a configuration issue in one of the path settings I mentioned above.

The problem was BDSCOMMONDIR variable. It wasn't set by our .groupproj file.
