This works fine for me.

Try this:

erase testxx.pj?
CREATE PROJECT testxx nowait
TEXT TO lcText NOSHOW
	set collate to 'hungary'
	MESSAGEBOX('test')
endtext
DELETE FILE testxx.prg
StrToFile('codepage = 1250','config.fpx')
?STRTOFILE(lcText,'testxx.prg',0)
_vfp.ActiveProject.files.add('testxx.prg')
?_vfp.ActiveProject.Build('testxx.exe',)
_vfp.ActiveProject.close
lcRuncmd ="! /n "+SET("Default")+CURDIR()+'testxx.exe -cconfig.fpx'
&lcRuncmd
return

If you change the StrToFile() line to

StrToFile('* codepage = 1250','config.fpx')

it gives the error you describe.
