I thought of an out-of-the-box solution... Who says 0 has to mean success? VBScript sometimes returns a 0 return code for failures, so why not embrace that? Adopt 0 as (at least one possible) failure code and make up another number (e.g. 10) as the "success code".

At the end of the script, put WScript.Quit(10). That will only be hit if everything succeeded up to that point. Then instead of "if errorlevel 1" in the calling batch file, use "if %errorlevel% == 10"
