I have a project that will deploy a database, SSRS and web application depending on the feature selection dialog. It is not a Suite Installer project. There are three features, mainfeature, feature1 and feature2. These are used for the feature selection dialog. The issue I am having is trying to figure out the status of each item if the installation was successful or not. Sometimes you will get a popup that a specific item has failed, but not always and the finish dialog will state that installation failed but nothing specific. Are the results stored in properties or is there any way I can retrieve each item installation result?
Thank you,
Diego

Re: Getting installation results for multiple features
Hello,
The verbose log contains information regarding the errors which may be encountered during the installation. You should enable it from "Install Parameters". In this way the log is always created in %temp% folder and in case of an error during the installation, the user is prompted by a checkbox on the Error dialog to show the log.

You could search in the log for unsuccessful return values for Installer Actions. Here you could find more information about Installer actions return values : Logging of Action Return Values
