Exit code for packages and installers¶
Exit code meaning¶
The exit code is the code returned by a terminating package or installer to the invoker. This is generally useful for batch process, command line execution.
The exit code of a package or installer made with Paquet Builder is automatically configured depending on whether the package exited successfully or if an error occurred. The table below shows you possible values.
You can set the exit code yourself with custom actions by setting the %EXITCODE% global variable: set the value of this variable using Perform operation on a variable and varAssign.
