I'd read this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368085.aspx.
Can you return something other than a zero from your executable? Also, are
you sure you can't do what you need to do in c++?

No it's an executable. I've tried c++ and VB scripts but they won't work
properly for what I need.

Is it an executable or did you manage to successfully call into a C# dll
from the msi?

If it's a c++ custom action, return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE instead of
ERROR_SUCCESS. If it's a script-based action, returning 3 instead of 0 will
have the same result. In your WiX files, make sure you have set the custom
action to check it's return code instead of ignoring it. Take a look at
this page for more info:

Dana,
Yes that would be easier to have the custom action exit with a failure.
How do you accomplish that? Specifically having it receive a value from the
script and triggering the rollback based on that response.
Ian.
PS. Could you reply to me directly as well as to the Mailing list? Makes
things much easier, Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At that point during the install, any file searches have already
completed. You'd have to write a second custom action to search for the
file, schedule it to run after the first one and then return an error
triggering rollback if it finds it.
Wouldn't it be easier to just have the first custom action exit with a
failure (triggering the rollback) after it performs the actions that would
create the file?
