If the application's installer exit code is a success, and the user has a pre or post script define, please consider allowing PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.exe to exit with exit code of the pre or post script. It might be ideal for an admin to fail the install of an app or update if a pre or post script fails.
Perhaps this behaviour could be controlled via a checkbox in the Add custom pre/post script dialogue where the default behaviour is how it is today (not to use the pre/post script exit code, only the installer's) and enabling the checkbox would enable this new proposed functionality.
Perhaps the checkbox could be worded as "Use script exit code if installation is successful"
We have a scenario where we need to reboot right after installing GlobalProtect via AutoPilot to get the vpn tunnel up. For this we have a postscript that checks if we are in AutoPilot exits with a 1641 exit code to signal for a hard reboot. This does not work as PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.exe exits with the code of the msi installer.
Would love to see this option.
I am currently working an app that uses '2' as a 'Sucess but reboot Required' for an exitcode. My inital thought was use a Postscript to Capture the Code and turn it into a '0', but I didn't realize the Post scripts don't supersede the main install Codes.
Adding this functionality could make handling custom exit codes much easier.
