Hi

why the command "cl" in Appveyor powershell pops up an exception as below while in powershell on my PC, no exception is throw?

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
cl : Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.40629 for x86
At line:20 char:3
+ cl

   You run it as PowerShell script (not CMD) and it looks like that command writes to StdErr which is interpreted by PowerShell as exception.

   That's not exactly the point. I run cl under PS on my PC and there is no error as show below

   Z:\git\poco>cl

   Try running it in PowerShell ISE

   Do you mean AppVeyor jobs are run in the Powershel ISE context?

   No, but my guess is that treating StdErr depends on PowerShell host.
