Hello,

I have developed installer setup project. Here during installation I am using windows application as custom action. Here I will be shown "Cancel" button. If user clicks "Cancel" button or close the form the setup also should not be continue. Means setup also should be close when user canceling the installation in win form.

Please help me how to do?

Thanks.

Solution 1

Here's the solution

In case you need to rollback on a exception throw the install exception which will automatically rollback the setup.

VB

throw new InstallException("Missing database script file");

Hi Birajdar,

Its not stoping the setup continuation after getting error or canceling. It is running as usual. During instalation i am using winform. Suppose if i get error in winform the setup should be stop and should be rollback. so how to do?

now i am overriding the install method during installation. and how to pass the error message agin to setup. please guide me.

No need to pass the error message to installer program. On the click of Cancel button in winapp, add the above code. It will rollback the installation

No Birajdar. Its not rollback. and setup project installation will be complete even if error is occur in winform.
