Deferred custom action

[ajecooy]

Hi,

I'm new to InstallShield so this may be a silly question.

I have a custom action running as deferred execution. How can I indicate failure to InstallShield so that it displays the "SetupCompleteError" dialog and not the "SetupCompleteSuccess" dialog? The custom action type is standard DLL.

regards

Kenneth

Within your custom action settings set the "Return Processing" value to either:

Asynchronous (Wait for exit code)
or
Synchronous (Check exit code)

These values will check the return code of the custom action. If the return code is 1 then it indicates success anything else is a failure and would result in the installation also failing.

Hope this helps,
Stuart

Hi,

I have Synchronous (Check exit code) selected for return processing. The dll function is declared as (written in C)

__declspec(dllexport) UINT __stdcall MyFunc(MSIHANDLE Handle)  

in InstallShield

NUMBER=[InstallResult] MyDll::MyFunc(in HANDLE=MsiHandle)

Doesn't matter if I return 0 , 1 or any other value I always get the "SetupCompleteSuccess" dialog.

Regards

Kenneth
