Hi Everybody,
Am new to Windows setup project and am trying to put in custom action where in am accepting Cd key and checking it against record in DB.
What I want is if CD key is invalid it should give msg and stop the further installation process. Am using base.Rollback() in installer.cs file but still its not rolling back the installation. Am getting msg properly even the rollback() is getting called but its not actually rolling back the installation.
Can anybody help me out?

thanks in advance

Can you post the code where you reject the invalid key and your rollback for us to have a look at?

protected override void OnBeforeInstall(IDictionary savedState)
{
MessageBox.Show("OnBeforeInstall");

First, do not use the Setup project in Visual Studio. It's been removed in VS2012 and when you upgrade the project to a new Visual Studio later, it'll tell you the project type is no longer supported and you'll have lost this work.

Use a 3rd party setup creation utility, such as InstallSheild LE, InnoSetup, Advanced Installer, WiX, ...
