Thank you for this information. Note that in an interactive command prompt, endlocal does not prevent a .bat file from properly setting %ERRORLEVEL%. Therefore what you describe is far from being intuitive. > Removing that might solve my problem, but I do not want to have to > tell my group that they have to modify the ditac distribution.

That's normal. com.xmlmind.ditac.convert.Converter returns an exit code which indicates which step has failed. For example, exit code 3 means: the preprocessing step has failed. > > I hope you will be able to reproduce and verify our success with > removing endlocal from fo2docx.bat (and the others) so that we can > avoid this problem going forward with a 'as released' version of > ditac!
