Can you describe exact steps to reproduce
e.g.
Create brand new project
Select project type of ...
On the build tab, select "all configurations"  ... or what?
On the build tab, select build system of "build without a makefile"  ... or what
On the tools tab ...  do what ...  ?

Also, what O.S. and what version of Slick?

hi Graeme,

thanks for the rescue : )  oky,

win 7 , SE 14.0.2.2 patched.

type of project : other ( no make file .. )
project properties ( settings for ): All Configurations
tools: pdfLatex, viewPdf, CleanAll, bitex
command line: del /F /Q  .\pdfs\*.*   ((( for the one causeing release directory creation - CleanAll ))
capture output ,to build windows, clear build : all checked

other tools don't create [Release] dir, maybe because they are calling other console apps like pdflatex... the one i have problems with is calling normal dos Del.

did any of the above help

thanks for trying Graeme.

I can't reproduce the problem.  Where does your release directory get created? Maybe you could create a brand new absolute minimal project and see if you can reproduce.  Attached is the minimal project I used.  The mydel command deletes files *.xyz in the current directory so use with care.

i have notices with your attached blank vpj the command line in outputwindows looks like

D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\docs>"C:\Program Files\SlickEditV14.0.2\win\vsbuild" -signal 9009 -command del /F /Q  .\pdfs\*.*

the one that causes the release directory looked like

D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\docs>"C:\Program Files\SlickEditV14.0.2\win\vsbuild" cleanall -b D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\docs\Chapter1_Introduction.tex -beep D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\MainWS.vpw D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\docs\Thesis.vpj -signal 9009
VSLICKERRORPATH="D:\LUT\Thesis\trunk\docs"
del /F /Q  .\pdfs\*.*

so what i did was i deleted my previous build command and add it again and voila [Release] dir no longer created. problem solved,

just for educational purposes what could be the reason? you don't have to waist time in investigating now since my pest has vanished : )

my thanks

Dunno what could be the reason.  vsbuild is a bit of a mystery to me actually.  If you type vsbuild /? on a dos cmdline you'll see what options it has.  This is how vsbuild gets invoked on my system using the mydel command in the skeleton project I posted.

vsbuild -signal 9009 -command del /f /q  *.xyz

There's no project file name in the call to vsbuild, whereas both the vpw and vpj were supplied to vsbuild in the stuff you posted.  Maybe your problem will come back and you can investigate further... !
