Return values to the command prompt in silent mode.
Hi all,

How do I return and display different codes to the command prompt when my installer is executed in silent mode.
Presently I display message-boxes and pages in non-silent mode, but want the user to know about the failure/pass with the return codes displayed on the prompt after the execution in silent mode.
Can anybody tell me how can I do that?

Thanks and Regards,
VCR

Use SetErrorLevel with the latest CVS version.

Hi,
I don't find the documentation or work-examples of SetErrorLevel. Details are available only on SetErrors, which will set the error flag.
Can you give me an example of SetErrorLevel as to how it can help me in returning different error-codes to command-prompt in silent-mode.

Regards,
VCR.

Run <NSIS folder>\Docs\src\build.bat on the latest CVS version and you'll get the latest documentation which includes information about SetErrorLevel.

Latest CVS version, not latest version. You can use the nightly snapshot from the front page or check out the files from CVS.
