calling winrs multiple times from TeamCity

Question

if I run 2 winrs commands in the same Team City Command Line like this:

Failing Build

The build will hang.

Hanging Build

if I manually kill the winrs process on the build agent, the build will finish but will exit with code 1.
if I run just one winrs command the build will pass.
If I split the winrs command into 2 different build steps the build will also pass.
If i put the two lines in a batch file and run that on the build agent it works also.
If i Put the two lines in a cmd file and run that on the build agent as the build agent user it works also.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here/how to fix this?

I'm hoping either a Team City or winrs guru can help me.

Would you mind making an experiment? Put these two lines into *.cmd file and try to execute it on the agent (using same user account as the agent) — Nikita Skvortsov, Jan 18 '13 at 11:05
@NikitaSkvortsov I'll give it a go and get back to you asap. — CraftyFella, Jan 18 '13 at 11:11
@NikitaSkvortsov I tried runnign the cmd file as the "TeamCity" user and it works fine.. just like running the batch file. I tried running the cmd file from Team City and it hangs (See picture). Weird hey? — CraftyFella, Jan 18 '13 at 13:28
so it hangs after second command? Right where is should have finished? — Nikita Skvortsov, Jan 18 '13 at 13:59
I'm having this exact same problem with Jenkins instead of TeamCity — Daniel Serodio, Jun 23 '15 at 18:43

Prefix your commands with START /WAIT

yes, START /WAIT works, even with winrs requests to multiple servers in the same build step it won't return the output though
