Hello, I need to use in my project an custom action which displays an error message and aborts installation in some specific conditions. In order to achieve this I wrote the following line:
<CustomAction Id="ValidInstall" Error="Some error message"/> If I place this custom action in the InstallExecuteSequence and everything works as I was expecting. When my conditions are not met, the "Some error message" is displayed and installation aborted. Now, I want to use a localized string as the error message in order to be able to display the message in different languages. For this I have added in a wxl file the following String block: <String Id="MyErrMessage" Overridable="yes">Some error message</String> and I have modified my CustomAction block as follows: <CustomAction Id="ValidInstall" Error="[MyErrMessage]"/>. The project builds fine, but when I run my setup it fails with the following error: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869". Could you please advise me of what I did wrong and if it's possible and how to achive what I need ?
