I use a Powershell install script.
During the script an exception occurs and I want to stop the build.
I've tried Break and Exit but the build is still reported as successful.

[https://ci-beta.appveyor.com/project/BergWerkGIS/node-mapnik/build/...]

How can I stop the build when an exception occurs?

   [SOLVED] Just re-throw the exception and the build stops.

   PowerShell script is considered successful if it's finished without exception. [http://www.appveyor.com/docs2/build-configuration#script-blocks]

   Now I'm having the same problem with .BAT files.

   I'm calling several .BAT files from my yml.

   Error catching in the BAT files looks like this (appreviated):

   IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 GOTO ERROR
   
   :ERROR
   ECHO ERRORLEVEL %ERRORLEVEL%
   EXIT /b %ERRORLEVEL%
   

   However, execution does not stop.

   How can I stop the build, when an error orrcurs?

   I'm afraid there is a problem with your .bat. You setting %ERRORLEVEL% back to 0 with the last cd.

   My test results:

   1. Demonstrating that ERRORLEVEL works: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/appvyr/appveyor-artifact-test/build...
      
   2. Simulating your case: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/appvyr/appveyor-artifact-test/build...
      
   3. This is how to fix script (copy ERRORLEVEL to a different variable next to failing command): https://ci.appveyor.com/project/appvyr/appveyor-artifact-test/build...

   Ohhh, of course.
   Thanks a bunch.

   It's always the same:
