Re: [WiX-users] Displaying custom error messages if deferred CA fails

[Soren Dreijer]

Thanks Phill!

I also found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370573%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

However, I'm still not clear on how I go about handling that error code in
my bootstrapper. For instance, let's say two different errors can happen in
my CA:
 1. A critical error that should fail the installation and print an error
message.
 2. An error that can be retried, i.e. I want my bootstrapper to show a
retry page with an explanation of the error.

How do I catch the messages sent from the CA and do the correct behavior in
the bootstrapper?

Cheers,
Soren
