Trapping return code from InstallAnywhere
All,
This is our workflow:
[LIST=1]
We have a watchdog program that launches the installer.
The watchdog's job is to trap the return code from the installer and report plus gather up the logs for easy collection should it come to that.
The trouble is that even if the user cancels, the return code is 0. I though, according to pp. 385 of the user guide, the exit code is supposed to be 1000. It is 0 after either clicking the [Cancel] button in one of the main dialogs or clicking the [Cancel] button in reponse to a canned InstallAnywhere dialog asking them if they want to continue or really cancel. So when *does* InstallAnywhere return 1000?

Never mind,
I figured it out. My watchdog gets is from GetExitCodeProcess() on Windows.
