MSBUILD: error MSB1008: only one project can be specified in teamcity

Question

I am trying to run msbuild with teamcity.

I have a batch file, and I pass parameters to it and the assembly works. When I try to run teamcity, I get the error below

[13:24:46] [MSBuild exit] Launch MSBuild ...

[13:24:46] [MSBuild exit] 'C: \ Windows \ Microsoft.NET \ Framework \ v4.0.30319 \ MSBuild.exe' '"@C: \ TeamCity \ buildAgent \ work \ 999585556854a516 \ Build \ Default.msbuild .teamcity.msbuild.tcargs "C: \ TeamCity \ buildAgent \ work \ 999585556854a516 \ Build \ Default.msbuild.teamcity '

[13:24:46] [MSBuild exit] Switch: C: \ TeamCity \ buildAgent \ work \ 999585556854a516 \ Build \ Default.msbuild.teamcity

[13:24:46] [MSBuild exit]

[13:24:46] [MSBuild Output] For the syntax of the switch, enter "MSBuild / help"

In the city of the command, the command line parameter field looks like this: Configuration = Debug; DeployPath = E: \ sites \ Umbraco \ MySite, environment = Dev;

I did a search on stackoverflow, and people having a similar problem noticed no spaces in the command line options, also my sln and proj files didn't have spaces.

As I said, when I run a batch file with these parameters, everything works, but the command does not work. Any ideas?

I managed to reproduce the error on the command line: apparently, the contents of the file for Default.msbuild.teamcity.msbuild.tcargs should be:

/p:Configuration=Debug;DeployPath=E:\websites\umbraco\mysite;Environment=Dev; 

instead:

 Configuration=Debug;DeployPath=E:\websites\umbraco\mysite;Environment=Dev;
