In my case, I chose to propagate anything that isn't an ERROR_SUCCESS immediately, with ERROR_MORE_DATA and ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS being exceptions that are specifically handled by the routines that need to handle them. (That's what my MSI_OK and MSI_OK_* macros do) So if an Msi* function returns a standard ERROR_INSTALL_USEREXIT, it should pass that up the line in short order. The problem would be anything that returns something else and needs to change the error code to an ERROR_INSTALL_USEREXIT. > This comes up often enough that it would be a good thing to document > the canonical list of functions that you have to check.

Such a list would be quite nice. -- Curtis Jewell swords...@csjewell.fastmail.us %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail] -- Curtis Jewell swords...@csjewell.fastmail.us %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
