Description
1. Create any new build configuration that descends from an existing build configuration.

2. Open Project | Options.

3. Edit the Search Path in the descendant build configuration, disable inheritance from the parent build configuration, and add directories containing spaces, e.g.:  ..\Common Classes\SharedForms;..\Common Classes\Classes.

4. Save the Project Options.

5. Build the project.  DCC will exit with the indicated error.

6.  Open the .dproj file with an editor.  Notice that &quot entities are included in the XML for the DCC_SearchPath path for the new build configuration.
Steps to Reproduce:
With a Delphi Win32 forms application,

1. select project | options menu

2. in first tab, select 'Search Path' editor

3. Add a path

4. attempting to compile gets the error message

[DCC error] Invalid command line switch for "dcc". Illegal quote passed to the command line switch "-I". The value was ["c:\rot"]
Workarounds
Edit the unwanted quotes from the project file in a text editor.

Unfirtunately, I can not reproduce your issue.
> 2. in first tab, select 'Search Path' editor

So, could you please attach some screenshot to verify your configuration?

Hi Tomohiro,

I reproduced this issue as well.  Here are reproduction steps:

1. Create any new build configuration that descends from an existing build configuration.

2. Open Project | Options.

3. Edit the Search Path in the descendant build configuration, disable inheritance from the parent build configuration, and add directories containing spaces, e.g.:  ..\Common Classes\SharedForms;..\Common Classes\Classes.

4. Save the Project Options.

5. Build the project.  DCC will exit with the indicated error.

6.  Open the .dproj file with an editor.  Notice that &quot entities are included in the XML for the DCC_SearchPath path for the new build configuration.
