me again!
Essentially my question now is how do i get meaningful return values
using "ignore" or "check" and put them in a Property.... without the
installer ending due to the return value?
I've managed to change the command argument with other customactions
that change the QtExecCmdLine property, which i call from the dialog in
the same way i call the CAQuietExec action.
It seems that the return values i get from these custom actions varies a
great deal based on what i put in the "return" field. Obviously that is
a foolish statement but all the same. The result I get is that Check or
ignore both get a return value of 1 regardless of the argument I use, so
if i ping localhost i get the same result as if i ping
".aiodopyhdolhrxrlaoediou". If I use the asyn return types it is more
accurate as in i get a 0 or a 1630 error, however this is not consistent
as the custom actions are smashing into each other because they are
async.

Subject: RE: Ping Server from dialog
I've triggered it from the dialog using DoAction:
<Control Id="Install" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="&Next >">
<Publish Event="NewDialog"
Value="[WixUI_RMSPortInput_Next]">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="pingISAServer">1</Publish>
</Control>
I still haven't taclked putting the return value in a property, but i
notice that you don't tell CAQuietExec to use QtExecCmdLine, so when i
came to adding a second command line call I hit a wall, is there a way
to specify what property should be used by CAQuietExec?

Ok I have it running ping using CAQuietExec, I think this maybe a step
in the right direction. I just need to deal with triggering it from a
dialog button click and capturing the return value to inspect, so I can
display an appropriate message.
<Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value=""ping.exe" /n 1
[ISASERVER]"/>
<CustomAction Id="pingServer" BinaryKey="wixca"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/>
<Binary Id="wixca" src="wixca.dll"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='pingServer' After="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
