End Dialog through custom action
If I return something other than ERROR_SUCCESS from the custom action, it directly takes me to the Finished Dialog where I can click "Close" and come out of installation.
Can I close this dialog from the custom action itself?? I tried terminating the process, exit(0) but nothing seem to work.

you can call a doaction to call a type 19 ca
or set a property which flags a conditional type 19
i.e.
session.property ("TERMINATEINSTALL") = "stop cos this failed"
Type 19 CA
InstallExecuteSequence = TerminateInstall, TERMINATEINSTALL , xxxx

Type 19 CA
InstallExecuteSequence = TerminateInstall, TERMINATEINSTALL , xxxx

I added CA with type 19 but I don't want to show any error message. I am restarting the installation of my pkg from the custom action based on certain condition.

OK... let me explain you my scenario. I need to install some driver even before the actual installation begins to protect my installed files. To achieve this, I am calling RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 PATH_OF_INF from custom action that runs before WelcomeDialog.
I did ShellExecute with "runas" verb in custom action as it was throwing an error while copying a driver file to system32. Now it works fine by popping up the elevation prompt. To avoid this repeated pop-up, I want to start the whole installation in elevated mode (i.e. whenever user double clicks on .MSI, it should ask for an elevation and should remain in the same mode till the end). And that's the reason for "restarting the installation..." business. I am calling msiexec with "runas" verb and passing "OriginalDatabase" property to it as an argument.
Is there any descent way of doing it??
