Where are error-codes from WIHU explained?

[skavenger]

Hello,

i use the great WIHU for a big unattended install.

Sometimes, if something wrong in the INI-file or the silent-script, WIHU gives me some different error-codes.

Now i´m searching for a place, where they are explained.

my errors are:

00000000 <- file not found?

00000002

00000653

0000042b

00000103

I hope, that anyone can me explaine these error-codes.

If there are more error-codes, please explain me these too.

Thanks in advance

Afaik, there is no such rule. The programmer decides which error code should be returned on a specific error. You can return a code that is usually a success code upon an error.

When wihu encounters an error, it displays a full sentence such as "the file could not be found". But when it's the other app that had an error, it has no way to know which one.

Error codes depends on the application. Usually the returned error codes are Win32 API Error codes (google "Windows Error Lookup Tool"). CMD Files may also return values ... (see ERRORLEVEL).

MSI Installer may has it's own codes.
