Creating an XML element without a namespace

I want to create an OutputPath element with text. This is what I want:

  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' ">
    <OutputPath>Text</OutputPath>
  </PropertyGroup>

      

        
        
        
      

    

and this is what I get:

  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' ">
    <OutputPath xmlns="">Text</OutputPath>
  </PropertyGroup>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Everything is fine, but when I create the element, something keeps adding xmlns = "" .

And then I get the error: Error MSB4097: The element under the element may not have its own XML namespace.

    // Load the Project (.innoproj or .nsisproj file)
    xmlDoc := nil;
    currentConfigurationNode := nil;
    xmlDoc := CreateOleObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM') as IXMLDOMDocument2;
    xmlDoc.async := False;
    //xmlDoc.setProperty('SelectionNamespaces', 'xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"'); << this line does nothing
    xmlDoc.load(projPath);
    if xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0 then
    begin
      xmlDoc := nil;
      currentConfigurationNode := nil;
      raise Exception.Create('Cannot not load Project file! Details: ' + xmlDoc.parseError.reason);
    end;

    // Find appropriate element and get it value
    { <?xml><Project><PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == 'XXX' "> }
    propertyGroup := xmlDoc.selectNodes('/Project/PropertyGroup');
    for I := 0 to propertyGroup.length - 1 do
    begin
      node := propertyGroup[I];
      if (node.attributes.length > 0) then
      begin
        Temp := String(node.attributes.getNamedItem('Condition').Text);
        if(Temp.Contains('$(Configuration)') and Temp.Contains(projConfiguration)) then
        begin
          // Do all operations on this node
          currentConfigurationNode := propertyGroup[I];
          break;
        end;
      end;
    end;

    Result := True;
  except
    on Exception do
      Result := False;
  end;

      

        
        
        
      

    

Creating a (new) node:

  // This is correct Node for selected Configuration
  node := currentConfigurationNode.selectSingleNode(PPED^.XmlTag);
  if(node <> nil) then
    if(PPED^.Value <> '') then
    begin
      elementNode := currentConfigurationNode.appendChild(xmlDoc.createElement(PPED^.XmlTag));
      elementNode.text := PutSymbol(PPED^.Strip, PPED^.Value); << Something adds xmls="" to this element
    end;
