Why is drop location required?

I am using Visual Studio 2012 to create a new build definition for TFS 2010. I clearly mark that I do not need to copy files to output folder. Why do I still get this error?

TF270006: The drop location for this build was empty. The build definition 'CI Project' (or the build request) must specify a valid UNC path as the drop location for the build. Update the build definition and try again

See by adding /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 in MSBuild arguments.

You probably need to set Copy Outputs to Drop Folder = False by going to Edit Build Definition then Click Process and then click Expand and then in Advanced

From the MSDN

This build copies output files to a drop folder check box should remain selected. Your builds will fail if you clear this check box and use a build template that produces output.
