Your very last statement "echo %ERRORLEVEL%" runs successfully, so it returns an exit code of 0 to the script! If you remove this statement it will solve your problem.


AFAIK 'Echo', as most internal dos commands, doesn't change the existing
errorlevel. The prob is the most likely that the COMSPEC (cmd.exe) needs to be switched in between to get to exitcode returned.

i = wShell.Run ("%comspec% /c C:\test1.bat", 1, True)
