Custom Error message from pre/post install exe

[Priya_Gopal]

Hello

I created a package which runs a batch file on post installation. The batch file returns a error code and the NIPM window shows the error message as The executable returned error '5000' after running the custom execute command 'path='"<batch-file-path>"', options='''.

To customize the error, I have created custom-errors.xml and txt file. But the batch file is not showing the error message written in the file.

is there a way to return error message from batch file to NIPM ?

NIPM does not use custom-errors.xml, and there unfortunately is not a way to display a custom message. Assuming you're using the LabVIEW package builder, two alternatively could be:

• Choose the "Custom action" scheduling to ignore all errors, OR
• Have the batch file display the error in its own console window
