Catching standalone build errors

[JoderCoder]

I am using standalone build engine to build the ism files into msm and msi files. Is there a way to catch the errors occurred during the build?

Thanks.

What do you want to catch exactly? The automation interface includes some object members like BuildErrorCount and BuildWarningCount.

BuildErrorCount is actually enough.. I want to return some error code if the build is returning some errors. So I can use the BuildErrorCount.

Also, is it possible to retrieve the errors from the automation script? I know the errors are written to the build logs but is it also readable from the automation interface. If yes, I would print them in our master build logs.

Thanks.
