I've noticed that Windows programs are really loose with their return
codes. If you can run those commands from a cmd.exe shell yourself,
try echoing %ERRORLEVEL% right after that command completes.
I've found that some Windows commands don't update %ERRORLEVEL%,
making it appear to return the same status as the previous command.
I've also encountered some commands which *always* appear to fail
("help" being the only example that comes to mind).
