Hello All,
Is there any way how we could return an error back to the installer if you have a failure during installation.
For example if you have a batch file or an exe which is to be executed during the installation time and it fail in between the installation. I would like to return the error back to the installer with the description. Also if I could pass this error to a log file.
Also if the installer fails to complete installation how could I roll back to the original state, like how windows installer behaves.
I am working with installscript project.
Thanks & Regards
Girish Katti

The nLaunchResult member of the LAAW_PARAMETERS structure should tell you the result code after calling LaunchAppAndWait.

InstallScript doesn't have rollback functionality. Instead it performs an uninstall if the installation aborts. One possible way to get rollback is to use Windows Installer (MSI) instead of InstallScript.
