.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / September 2005How to abort an install in an installer class
I have a custom installer derived from System.Configuration.Install I have overridden the Install and some of the other methods. I would like to be able to signal that the install is/has failed and cause a rollback when I detect errors in the Install or even the BeforeInstall methods. How do I indicate that the install is/has failed?
