Customize installation failure message

I have a Professional license, and I have created an installation package that contains a custom action. The custom action is configured to "Fail installation if custom action returns an error".

When the custom action fails, a message box is displayed with the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

This is working as expected. I was wondering if there is a way to customize the text in the message box.

Re: Customize installation failure message

Hello,

Unfortunately, by using a "Professional" license edition you cannot customize the related error message.

This is possible only by using an "Enterprise" or higher project type where our "Table Editor" feature is available. The error message can be edited from "Table Editor" page -> "Error" table -> "Error 1722" row.

If you have any questions just let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
