launch conditions
Hello,
I have a request to have an MSI exit without error if certain launch conditions are not met. I am told that the reason for this is that it will hang machines when deployed by GPO (per machine install) This has not been fully tested.
The qn switch will not work for this deployment.
Is there a way to have the MSI install fail and quietly exit?
Do I have to create a custom action? Any leads on a custom action for such a thing?
Help!

Hi Stuntman,
a machine GPO install does silently fail, if it is authored well. However, you will of course get entries to the event log and the MSI log file (if turned on).
And you really should log the failing install (the log goes to the 'windows\temp' directory.
Things like this are often caused by poorly designed custom actions or missing rollback CA's.
Please log the beast, search for the breaking sequence and post the lines above it here on the board.
