How to get an error message of command "apply install"  or can we catch the exception of InstallAware script. ?

Postby Harishshrivastava01 » Sun Jan 10, 2021 10:59 am

Hello,

When I install the software in a drive that does not have sufficient required space then "Apply install" command shows the error message "out of disk space".


I want to get this message in another variable so i can write this message in a text/log file.

Or if we can catch the exception in running script so that we can get to know which problem occurred.

Please advice.
Thank you

You may do a try with checking the value stored with the "LASTERROR" pre-defined variable.
https://www.installaware.com/mh52/desktop/applychanges.htm?rhsearch=apply%20install&rhsyns=%20

LASTERROR: Initially an empty string. After Windows Installer executes, set to the last error that occured during execution, if any


Hope this helps you.
