I have modified the BuildProperties.xml file by uncommenting the build output property and setting it to the path I want. I then included the 'propertesfile' attribute in the ANT task and set that to the full path to this file. But when I run the task, the properties file does not appear to be read as the setting gets ignored.
I ran that test you suggested but still no joy. The template syntax looks suspect to me - can't be simply a matter of uncommenting the line for the property you wish to set and changing the value.
Besides, the error I get is:
The reading of build settings properties file failed Error: Element type "BuildOutputLocation" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
