Set a property in the installer (for example, CA001STATUS) and then use the property in the installer flow. Return an error from the custom action only if the error should stop the installation and you do not need to show the user a friendly error message. Good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] Set error code from Custom Action Hi, I have a custom action created in C#. How can i return my specific error code back to installer when my custom action fails? [CustomAction] public static ActionResult MyCA(Session session) { try { //code } catch(Exception ex) { // set my error code ???????? } } I saw that it always return 1603 when it fails. But i want to return my error code 6004 for example.
