How to get a detailed error messsage?

Hi!

I am trying to launch another setup program (using LauncApplication) from my Installshield script and it fails everytime.

How can get a detailed error message to track down this problem?

Thank you,

Nick

Thank you!

I guess the question should be how do I convert those return codes into a meaningful error message...

Thank you and have a nice day!

Use FormatMessage InstallScript function.

Thank you!

I was able to debug my script and while I still have a few tests to do to make sure it exactly does what I want it to do it's now behaving pretty close to how I want it to behave...

Once again thank you!
