[wix-users] Validate a success full process code form the Bootstrapper

[Nicolas Clement]

Hi,

What I'm looking isn't how to return the error code from my bundle to a batch launcher, but the opposite how to get the error code from the batch and return it to my bundle without having my bundle starting to rollback but still been able to know that my batch had an error.

By the way I'm using Wix3.10, c# and Winform.

For this I tried something like:

private void OnExecutePackageComplete(object sender, ExecutePackageCompleteEventArgs e)
{
	If (e.Status == -2147024895)
	{
		e.Result = Result.Continue; // also tried Ignore,Ok,None,Yes
	}
}

But the bundle still rollback.

Also I don't know If it's a bug but the Error EventHandler doesn't catch the error.


Regards,

Nicolas

In general you might want to look at the InstallationViewModel.cs file in the WixTollset source of the WixBA project.  That is a WPF project, but your approach may need to be different if you are using a different display technology.


In WPF your model would hold a 'result' property and a 'state' property in the VM.  In the handlers for PlanComplete and ApplyComplete save the 'result' code to your model.  Your View can present different information depending on your result property and if your 'state' property is InstallationState.Failed or InstallationState.Applied, etc.  You might also want to look at the Executeerror handler.   And when your bundle exits you can call this.Engine.Quit( your-result-code); to pass the result code back as the return code of your bundle.exe, for processing by a batch launcher.


The wix4\src\Setup\WixBA is the approach which I use.  It is a little different from wix3, but the same basic concept.

Hi,

I would like to know how it's possible to have the same behaviour as "<ExitCode Value="" Behavior="success"/>" in my custom Bootstrapper so that I can show an finish message depending on the returned process code of my batch file.

Nicolas
