How to get Package Information from Suite Installer during installation?
Hello friends,
I have a situation where i need to know the name of the package that is being installed.
Situation: During Package installation, if any particular package installation fails, then we need to some how get the Package name [preferably in any property], to display an error message "Failed installing [Package 1]: " in the Installation Completed screen
How can i get the Package name in any property which i can use in Installscript? Is there any default property which keeps track of this information.

Thanks for your response. We thought of this idea initially but discarded it as in my scenario, i need to do it for 89 packages, in that case it will be bit tough... For smaller suites, its a good soln.

Okay, And how can i use the text string? i mean what should be the logic. The text string will be holding the package name, how i will come to know which package has failed?
I haven't tried this myself but IS 2015/2016 have several objects available for inspection which *may* help you resolve this. Search the online help for Object Reference for Expressions in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
In particular there is a Parcel Object which has a member called Name which may be what you're after. You'll need the package GUID to get this information though.
