Answer 1

You can tell MSBuild to execute a task and continue on errors (see MSDN articles):

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171484.aspx

ContinueOnError Optional attribute. Can contain one of the following values: WarnAndContinue or true. When a task fails, subsequent tasks in the Target element and the build continue to execute, and all errors from the task are treated as warnings. ErrorAndContinue. When a task fails, subsequent tasks in the Target element and the build continue to execute, and all errors from the task are treated as errors. ErrorAndStop or false (default). When a task fails, the remaining tasks in the Target element and the build aren't executed, and the entire Target element and the build is considered to have failed. Versions of the .NET Framework before 4.5 supported only the true and false values.
