I noticed I can have line feeds ('\n') in the Message Box custom actions. I don't seem to be able to have them in the Error Message custom action though (they just appear as literal '\n' text in the messagebox).
Is there a way to get line feeds in the error message boxes?

Re: Line feeds in Error Message box?
Hi,
The "Display message box" is an Advanced Installer custom action, while "Display error message" is a Windows Installer custom action and it has this limitation.
As a workaround, you can create a new property in the Install Parameters page (i.e. PROP) and create an "Execute inline script code" custom action above your "Display error message" custom action with the following code:
Then the message of your "Display error message" custom action can be written like this: First line[PORP]Second line
Let us know if this helped.
