Q: 

How do I set the current working directory/drive in a dos batch file?

cd d:\projects does not work

How can I set the current working drive and directory so that I can run msbuild scripts from there?

+1  A: 

try the following:

D:
cd \projects

or 'cd /d D:\projects' if you want it all in one line.
