Sumo simulation SittingDuck Error
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(481,9): error : The OutputPath property is not set for this project. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid Configuration/Platform combination. Configuration='Debug' Platform='MCD'
Done building project "SittingDuck.Y2007.M05.proxy.csproj" -- FAILED.
Hi everybody,
I was trying out the sumo simulation SittingDuck tutorial and at the last part where I have to compile the .cs project.I encountered this error message. I have checked my configuration but there is not 'MCD' for the Platform.
I only have "Any CPU" choice for the Platform.
What should I do to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
newbie
We saw this problem with a few of the people who built sumo bots at MEDC this year. As I recall, the problem was that they had used Platform Builder in the past and it had set up an environment variable which defined the target CPU as MCD. This caused our command-line build to fail. I don't remember exactly what the environment variable was but you should be able to type "set" in the MSRS command prompt window to display all currently defined environment variables. When you find one that is set to MCD, clear it by setting it to nothing "set <var>=" and you should then be able to build your sitting duck project.

I also had this problem on my HP laptop. But the platform variable would not stay deleted! It was caused by some HP bloatware called "HP Easy Setup". All this program does is step you through a few pointless screens upon first bootup. I could not find out how to un-install this program, so I manually removed the registry keys. They were located here FYI:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\cpc\PCINTRO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
I also commented out the line that sets this registry key in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcintro\laptop.bat but i am not sure if this is nessisary if you never run the program again.
