title: Gathering outputs from an MSBuild exec task
body: <p>I have a batch script that I want to call from an MSBuild project, and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x8zx72cd.aspx" rel="noreferrer">the documentation</a> says I can't use output from the batch (either console / environment variables) in the MSBuild project.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a workaround?</p>
