FYI - I found the solution for this – on the new PC the Platform variable is
set to MCD, not AnyCPU .

Problem Description
I have set an alternative output directory for my project but when I build the
project, the executable is written to my source directory
Problem Resolution
The problem could be due to an environment variable called PLATFORM. If you
open the .dproj file you can see where the output path is set:
</Configuration>
<Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
<DCC_DCCCompiler>DCC32</DCC_DCCCompiler>
<DCC_DependencyCheckOutputName>d:\output\mytestoproject.exe
You can see that this is conditional on PLATFORM being set to AnyCPU. If you
have PLATFORM set to anything other than AnyCPU the condition will not be met
and the Output path will not be set.
You can override environment variables in the IDE via the following steps:
1.. Choose Tools | Options.
2.. In the resulting dialog box, select Environment Variables node in the
tree.
3.. Locate PLATFORM.
4.. Click on the Add Override… button.
5.. In the Variable Value field, type AnyCPU.
6.. Click OK in both dialogs and restart the IDE.
The output path will now be respected.

Subject: [DUG] Windows 8.1 issue - D2007 Debugging
Another strange issue – tidying up source in D2007 before moving to XE5, and
the debugger for D2007 is not working on WIndows 8.1 64 bit – the reason is the
output folder which is set correctly in the project for the .EXE file is being
ignored when building and running – the EXE file ends up in the folder where
the project file is. The debugger runs the EXE that is in the output folder,
which is not the one just built, so no debugging happens. The only thing that
works is the Stop button, but no breakpoints.
There is no permissions problem with the output folder, I checked that, and the
IDE is being run as Administrator.
Anyone have any idea why the output folder is being ignored and any fixes?
