RobertDickau wrote: Please see the help topic Build Tools > Exit Codes. thanks Robert, I have read that help file and try to catch the exit code in a batch file by using ERRORLEVEL. build.exe myProject.iap_xml echo.%ERRORLEVEL% I saw from my command window, the exit code return by IA should be 0 (the last line from IA "EXITING: 0"), but the batch file echo return 4862 for the ERRORLEVEL.
