Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You run a PowerShell script at a command prompt on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You use the exit statement in the PowerShell script to exit the script with a custom error code.

  • You run the echo %errorlevel% command at the command prompt to retrieve the error code.

In this situation, an incorrect error code is returned. Instead of the custom error code that is specified by the exit statement, the error code that is returned is zero.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an error in PowerShell 2.0.

More Information

For more information about how to write scripts for Windows PowerShell, visit the following Microsoft website:

General information about how to write scripts for Windows PowerShellFor more information about software update terminology, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

824684 Description of the standard terminology that is used to describe Microsoft software updates

Example scripts and output

The following is an example of a NoCmdletBinding.ps1 PowerShell script:

Param(
[string]$ExitCode
)

Write-Host "Exiting script with $ExitCode"
exit $ExitCode

The following is an example of a CmdletBinding.ps1 PowerShell script:

[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(Position=0,ValueFromPipeline=$true,Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$ExitCode
)

Write-Host "Exiting script with $ExitCode"
exit $ExitCode

The following is an example of the output that is generated when you run a PowerShell script at a command prompt:C:\>powershell -noprofile -file d:\NoCmdletBinding.ps1 5
Exiting script with 5
C:\>echo %errorlevel%
5
C:\>powershell -noprofile -file d:\CmdletBinding.ps1 3
Exiting script with 3
C:\>echo %errorlevel%
0 In this example, the return value is incorrect. The return value should be 3 instead of 0.

The following is an example of the output that is generated when you run a script in a PowerShell window:PS C:\temp> .\NoCmdletBinding.ps1 5
Exiting script with 5
PS C:\temp> $lastexitcode
5
PS C:\temp> .\CmdletBinding.ps1 3
Exiting script with 3
PS C:\temp> $lastexitcode
3 In this example, the return value is correct.
