1. Thanks for your help.
2. We have the SUF5 and 6.
3. We need to run a special program to determine whether to run the installation on the current machine or not.
4. Our program is returning a value.

Re: how to stop setup after execute ?

for suf6 I put a sample at http://www.jassing.com/binaries/runfile.zip

There's a DLL included in the zip file that runs an EXE and waits until it's done & then returns the error code (exit/return code) of that exe to SUF

The .sf6 example only runs on w2k, but the DLL works on all platforms.

Assuming that you made the program that you are running, why not have the program write out its result to an INI file or the Registry? From there SUF60 can easily pick-up the result and make the decision to abort the setup if necessary.
