I am trying to call msival2.exe on a MSI file and it successfully performs the ICE testing. However, the error code is always -1 and I can't seem to figure out why. To test, I made a simple batch file which has the following code: @ECHO OFF msival2.exe "C:\test\myMSI.msi" Darice.cub if NOT errorlevel 0 goto failure :failure echo Error level is %errorlevel% > c:\blah.log Errorlevel always shows -1 even though msival2.exe outputted correct information. For simple testing, I ran this batch file from the msival2 directory (c:\program files\msival2\). That directory also contains Darice.cub. Any thoughts?

I actually figured out the problem. If any of the ICE's return a error, then msival2.exe will return -1 to indicate that there was an error found in your MSI. I was thinking -1 meant something went wrong with msival2.exe. If you run msival2.exe on a MSI without errors, error code is 0.
