Sure it can be done. But you'll need to define your own schema. - David Heffernan

Delphi 7 did not produce the XML project files used by MS-Build. In order to use MS-Build to build Delphi 7 projects, you'd have to generate your own .dproj file in the proper format.

It also did not come with the Borland assemblies necessary for use with MS-Build (which were placed in the %WINDIR%\assembly\GAC_MSIL folder in more recent Delphi installations), so you'd have to create your own schema that calls the Delphi compiler (both code and resource).
