I've read a fair bit about trying to get exit codes from custom actions or external code etc. but I have yet to find something that will let me (intentionally) return a non-zero exit code from the installshield process.

I've got an mfc application that has to launch an installshield 'wrapper' and branch based on that process' exit code. Within the wrapper, I have a condition where I will call 'abort' to terminate the setup. The problem is, 'abort' still seems to exit with the same value as a normal process exit.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
Todd

I don't think that's possible. As a workaround you could temporarily store the result in a registry entry or a file, from where your MFC app can pick it up.
