Works On My Machine

I ran into a pretty horrible problem with ILMerge this week when attempting to build and deploy a windows service I’d been working on.

cmd

What would you expect the following piece of Code to print. if the directory ‘A’ doesn’t exist @ECHO OFF IF ’1′==’1′ ( CD a ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% ) CD a ECHO %ERRORLEVEL% Not very intuitive right?
