How to preserve colored output (stdout and stderr) for cmd scripts from powershell?

Question

We have build scripts for cmd. For example here is output of one of them.

Answer 1

I'm not positive this will work, but if you don't mind redirecting stderr to stdout, PowerShell won't try to color everything red. To do this, just add 2>&1 when you run your cmd script, e.g.

build.cmd 2>&1
