SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002, you can use the Nmake accessory application (Nmake.exe) with the /k switch to continue to build an application project after one section fails. However, if you have defined multiple description blocks for a target, and if a failure occurs on only one of the description blocks, Nmake returns 0 instead of 1.

Note A return value of 0 indicates success and a return value of 1 indicates failure.
