If by Install Time you mean when files are installing, I'm afraid that you cannot control that, you cannot pause the installation and ask user for input. All that must be done in Pre-Install task.

Hi,
Actually I m going to create user in install task.(it's not possible in pre-install task).By following steps of adding database host and then running script.
I ask user at pre-install time the necessary inputs. But at install time after the script has been run if the error occured in user creation I want user to input again the necessary parameters.
can you guide me how to do so???
Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh Rathod.

Again, I think it's not possible. I'm doing something similar and you need to do this stuff in the pre-install task, where you can recover from such an error. In the install task is too late, even if you can throw an error, you cannot go back and ask the user from a correct input.

IA, as an install tool, should really allow its user to control what they want to do with it. At least if they cannot do it (for reason I don't understand for the life of me), they should allow us to have custom InstallAction that we can control our installer destiny. Example is to actually fail the installer based on certain complexity after user hits the install button.
