Good afternoon,
I've got a series of custom actions that can each present reason for a failed
installation. I am currently getting "the installation completed/failed
prematurely" or what it says when something fails. I like that screen, but I
would like to show my own text for why it failed: SQL Server was down, database
was missing, database access denied, and so forth. I am not sure which WXS-file
is the relevant here. This is the customized user interface based on Mondo
(don't know if it's so customized):

Essentially, I'd like to communicate a friendly error message back to the
"ended prematurely"-screen that currently comes up when an error occurs. Not
sure whether I've got it set up correctly in the above, or I need to make a
call to a method of sorts in the Custom Action besides signaling
ActionResult.Failure.
Best Regards,
Tom

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
