hi joe,
you can try using:
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" EXIT 0
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" EXIT %errorlevel%
Quits the CMD.EXE program (command interpreter) or the current batch
script.
EXIT [/B] [exitCode]
/B specifies to exit the current batch script instead of
CMD.EXE. If executed from outside a batch script, it
will quit CMD.EXE
exitCode specifies a numeric number. if /B is specified, sets
ERRORLEVEL that number. If quitting CMD.EXE, sets the process
exit code with that number.
for the batch file. specify the exitCode as 0 for success... this way, you
can check for error. not sure whether batch file for error checking is the
right code. Do try and give the right feedback. Then, you can set ur wix
script return of custom action as check.
