Custom code: How to fail the uninstaller at will?

[greatusa]

Hi,
1.How do I trigger the uninstaller to fail any time I want, from custom code?
2.The uninstall seems to always report SUCCESS, despite there is failure in it. How do I control that status?

This is the snippet of my custom action's uninstall()

{
......................................................
FatalInstallException fie = new FatalInstallException( "The Deployment Plan Execution Failed." );
fie.initCause(e);
throw fie;
}

That never does it for us!
Thanks

Perhaps see if the method

public void abortInstallation(int exitCode)

from the InstallerProxy class will handle that?

Hi Robert,
Thanks...The last time we try, that API is not working for uninstall. We had to do System.exit()...pretty bad right now 😞
Anything else we can do?
