I create a condition on a custom action.
When this condition is false during the installation, an error message appear and the installation is stopped without do a rollback.

I would like that my condition is false, the custom action doesn't execute but the installation continues.
How do it this ?

Thanks.

I guess that the installation aborts for some other reason (maybe the CA sets some value that is required later on?)

Click on the Custom Action then use the wizard to re-configure it.  At some point there is an "Ignore Custom Action Return Code"  Make sure this is checked.  Now your Custom action can internally set a value that can be used for conditional components or features.  The install should now continue regardless of the Custom Action return code.
