Hi,
I'm looking for a way to get the MSI error code (in case of an error) in custom action for error reporting.
I tried to look for it in "Installation Status" properties, but i wasn't able to find it.
Any way I can get it ?
Thanks

Re: Get the msi error code in custom action
Hello,
I am not quite sure there is a property which stores the value of the MSI return code.
However, in order to achieve what you want, you can make use of the "MsiExec.exe" return codes.
Basically, here, we can get the return code of the whole msiexec process. For instance, we can do this using the %errorlevel% variable, in a batch file, as it follows:
Hope this helps.
