Richard,
Thanks for the good suggestion, but I can't for the life of me figure out
how to implement what you suggest.
I have the following:
<CustomAction Id="ForceError" Error="1602"/>
<CustomAction Id="RollbackReportAction" BinaryKey="REPORTDLL"
DllEntry="RollbackInstallReport" Execute="rollback"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='RollbackReportAction'
After='InstallInitialize'></Custom>
<Custom Action="ForceError" After="RollbackReportAction"></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<AdminExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='RollbackReportAction'
After='InstallInitialize'></Custom>
<Custom Action="ForceError" After="RollbackReportAction"></Custom>
</AdminExecuteSequence>
<UI>
<Error Id="1602">We have a problem</Error>
</UI>
In the log, I see that the ForceError CA returns 3... but it doesn't trigger
a rollback.
Action ended 10:56:34: ForceError. Return value 3.
MSI (s) (BC:34) [10:56:34:044]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
MSI (s) (BC:34) [10:56:34:044]: Note: 1: 1402 2:
