check the box "continue on failure" in the launch action
Additional Information
When launched successfully, some applications will generate a "Non-Zero" return code.
Normally this indicates an error or failure, which is why ZCM was reporting a failure.
Under "More Options", the "Launch Windows Executable" and "Run Script" there is now a field called "Success return codes:"
Simply enter in
the successful return codes here and an error will no longer be
indicated when the executable returns one of those codes.
