cmd.exe sets the exit code to 0 after start

[andry81]

Examples:

(call) & cmd.exe /d /s /c "exit"
echo ERRORLEVEL=%ERRORLEVEL%

Output:

ERRORLEVEL=0

To workaround:

call; & cmd.exe /d /s /c "(call) & exit"
echo ERRORLEVEL=%ERRORLEVEL%

Output:

ERRORLEVEL=1

Note

The same can happen for a script without the call prefix: #34
