Can a WiX Custom action return a string other than the custom action status

[Diwakar243]

In our wix installer, we have a custom action and it might fail due to more than one reasons. We want to inform the user with specific error message corresponding to the failure. But the custom action returns a single error status at the end which becomes very generic for us to display the exact error message. Did someone encounter this and had a solution?

WiX doesn't use issues for support. We moved this issue to the experimental GitHub discussions area. You might also consider asking your question on the wix-users mailing list or posting on Stack Overflow.
