tfs build definition with no drop folder

Question

I've recently changed a number of my builds to not have a drop folder but now I'm getting the following error when I do this:

The drop location for this build was empty. The build definition 'My Nightly Build' (or the build request) must specify a valid UNC path as the drop location for the build. Update the build definition and try again.

This is how I changed it:

Error:

Can I not use this configuration or am I doing something wrong here?

If your Build Process Template is based on the DefaultTemplate in TFS 2010, Got to:

1. Edit Build Definition...
2. Click Process on the left
3. Expand Advanced
4. Set Copy Outputs to Drop Folder = False

Then it should not require the Drop folder to be defined.
