Try to schedule ForceError before InstallFinalize and RollbackReportAction before ForceError.

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: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Rollback\Scripts 3: 2 MSI (s) (BC:34) [10:56:34:044]: Note: 1: 1402 2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Rollback\Scripts 3: 2 MSI (s) (BC:34) [10:56:34:075]: Calling SRSetRestorePoint API. dwRestorePtType: 13, dwEventType: 103, llSequenceNumber: 1019, szDescription: "".
