try{ System.Diagnostics.Process installProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); installProcess.StartInfo.FileName = installApp; installProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = installArgs; // Start the SQL Express installed installProcess.Start(); // Wait for the SQl Express installer to complete installProcess.WaitForExit(); // Check for sucessful completion return (installProcess.ExitCode == 0) ? true : false; }Catch (Exception) { // sets the environment exit code to 1935 but it does not work System.Environment.ExitCode = 1935; } |
the problem is tht exception handling is not working and i have following issues:
1. when there is error in SQL installer my C# application keeps on waiting for the installer to exit.
2. if it fails i want that the prerequisite dialog (installshield) knows there is error and exits the installation.
it would be great if someone can shed some light on the above issues. you time is highly appreciated
thanks
sunny

First; the angry face isn't really a good motivator for getting replies..
why don't you just include the SQL express merge module in your project?

changed the post icon
and thanks alot for replying.http://msdn2.microso...y/ms345154.aspx
according to msdn merge module is not supported by sql server 2005 express edition.
the oonly wayout is could see was the one i have implemented. i have tested my application. it works fine but when error occurs, it sets System.Environment.ExitCode, which is not working in installshield.
please help me in understandin how to set the errors in c#, which can be seen by installshield. so that i can halt the installation if any error occurs during execution of my application.
waitin for reply again...
