  • You don't need script to do that. Use whatever tool you are using to create a type 19 custom action and terminate the install with the message specified there when your condition is set. – PhilDW Oct 08 '14 at 16:04

Return Values of JScript and VBScript Custom Actions

msiDoActionStatusNoAction 0 Action not executed.

msiDoActionStatusSuccess IDOK = 1 Action completed successfully.

msiDoActionStatusUserExit IDCANCEL = 2 Premature termination by user.

msiDoActionStatusFailure IDABORT = 3 Unrecoverable error. Returned if there is an error during parsing or execution of the JScript or VBScript.

msiDoActionStatusSuspend IDRETRY = 4 Suspended sequence to be resumed later.

msiDoActionStatusFinished IDIGNORE = 5 Skip remaining actions. Not an error. 

Function MyVBScriptCA()

    If Session.Property("CustomErrorStatus") <> "0" Then
        'return error
        MyVBScriptCA = 3
        Exit Function
    End If

    ' return success
    MyVBScriptCA = 1
    Exit Function

End Function

Also consider reading VBScript (and Jscript) MSI CustomActions suck.
