I created a new project just to be sure it happens, and I repro'd it. demosolution.zip Noticed that the Win32 platform has Output Directory set to foobar, while x64 has it at the default -- even though in the Configuration Manager I specified that it should copy settings from Win32.
This occurs for all properties. I just focused on Output Directory because that happened to be where I noticed it first. Are you using a C++ project?
Hi Nick,
OutDir and IntDir are not copied automatically if they don't contain $(Platform) and $(Configuration) macros to avoid mixing/overriding outputs with different architectures. If you only build for one architecture and don't want to see it in the path of the outputs dirs, you can either change it in the project properties (as you do now) or define OutDir and IntDir in a .props file, which all your projects would import. Your might also create Directory.Build.props in the root directory - it will be automatically imported to all project files under this root dir
