Hi
I am a newbie with IA. I have an installation which checks for some pre-requisites on the target machine and if they are not met prompt an error and exit (cancel and exit option).

Now how can I handle this in a silent installation? I want to log a similar output to the install log before exit. In the same lines how could I include a java custom action also in the silent install sequence?

Any help will be appreciated as the IA resources are very scarce on net unlike installshield!

Normally, the silent installation has been created in order to perform unattended installations, that are supposed to succeed everytime. So again, normally, the input you give the installer in installer.properties is supposed to be correct, so there won't be any need to verify it.
