FIX: Nmake /k returns success in a failure condition when you have targets in multiple description blocks in Visual Studio .NET 2002 (814034)

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.
