How can i use error handling in Installscript?
E.g I use a statement such as

result = oSQLServer.Connect

This statement gives HRESULT .Basically if this statement fails, the control does not return to the installscript instead the installshield setup directly shows 'Installshield Wizard Interrupted' dialog box and aborts the setup.
In such a situation,i can not display any custom message box to user displaying proper message about why the setup failed.

Same thing happens when i am calling methods of objects such as  COM objects or ADO.
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Try (pun intended) using try and catch statements.

i.e.
try
result = oSQLServer.Connect;

catch
MessageBox(Err,INFORMATION);
return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
endcatch;
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
