I suspect it's how NANT is calling the scripts from within it's code that requires the explicit use of the EXIT keyword - a batch-to-batch invocation probably is handled in a subtly different manner (which is what both of us had to find and solve ;)

After waiting a lot of time I'm glad I found this trick. I could not figure out why it would return the correct error code to another bat file, but not to NANT.

This is what I ended up using for my scripts:

GOTO Exit

:ResultCode
EXIT /B %1

:Exit
ENDLOCAL & CALL :ResultCode %ERRORLEVEL%

Glad to help! With the amount of time our team took in figuring this one out there was no way I wasn't going to share it :)

Excellent! Many, many thanks for figuring out this technique. Your post definitely did save me a huge amount of time and effort trying to figure out how to do this.
