 From the manual "ERRORLEVEL number is true if the previous program had an
                  exit code of number or higher"
					 ^^^^^^
 I think you want to do something akin to
     if errorlevel 8 goto process_8
     if errorlevel 7 goto process_7
     ...
     :process_8
       <whatever error 8 does>
     goto exit
     :process_7
	<etc for 7>
     goto exit
     ...
     :exit
