Installation properly completed or not

I am running an application in normal mode using ExecWait.I am getting an error if that is already installaed in the system(It prompts me to give cancel). The error code I am getting is 1602.What does this error value mean ?

If I run the same application in silent mode(by passing parameters) I am not getting any error even though it is already installed in the system.Is there a way to find whether the current installation has completed properly or not ?

I don't see the point, if you run an external installer in silent mode, it decides if it needs to install or not depending on if it already is installed (there is no point installing something that is already installed). It will always return when it's finished.

Running the external installer in normal mode is generally used if the user wants to run it manually. Running it in silent mode is better for automatic installations because it doesn't require any user input.
