build.bat cannot set/reset ERRORLEVEL

Description

The file build.bat says

REM NOTE: The "setlocal & endlocal" construct is used to reset the errorlevel to 0.

But this does't work on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. And says aloso

REM NOTE: The "set _error_=" construct is used to set the errorlevel to 1

This does't work on Windows Vista.

So, my Proposed resolution is

reset the errorlevel to 0
ver>NUL
set the errorlevel to 1
dir NUL>NUL 2>&1
