exit code of CA

[Jope2000]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to InstallShield and have problem with one of my installations.
I'm using a custom action (vbs) to install a thirdparty program which is used by our program. the action is execution of the script is set to "deferred execution".
executing the other setup is no problem and I also get the correct return code from this setup.
But I don't know how to exit the custom action with a specific exit code to fail the setup in case I got the wrong return code from the other setup.

i already tried using Quit(x) and WScript.Quit(x) but the script is always return 1 even if the external program failed.

has any one an idea how to do that?

thanks,

For a VBScript custom action return value to affect the parent installation process, the custom action needs to be type 6 (New VBScript->Stored in Binary table in InstallShield). The following article contained some further information on how to return values from VBScript custom actions:
