I was able to override error messages using v3 by adding an <Error> element to the source code as in: <Error Id="1920">Service '[2]' ([3]) failed to start. (rest of my customized message followed)</Error> The error element has to be embedded within the <UI> element.
I am not quite sure where the default error messages come from. Supposedly they are all in WixUI_en_us.wxl, but initially, when I searched through my MSI file I could not find any error table at all. Maybe the default errors are built into msiexec? Lee Thompson-2 wrote: > > Is it possible to override the default error codes that WiX uses?
