We're not going to get very far if you keep repeating the question and I keep repeating the answer! This is nothing to do with WiX. Your custom action crashes, Windows Installer displays the 1722 error dialog. You can't change this. It's the way Windows works. Why aren't you fixing the error, as Rob says? You could wrap the installutil call in a C++(?) Dll call of some kind, see if you can try/catch to trap the error and then set a property to use in a type 19 custom action, but why bother? Why not fix it? I assume you're not planning to ship the install while it's broken, so there's no real value in doing all that work just for your own use when you already know it's broken.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action Specific Errors That's a standard Windows Installer error that means the custom action (probably) crashed, not a WiX error you can re-define.
