Make PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.exe exit code same as pre/post script

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"

    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.

Allow for custom exit codes from Pre/post scripts to pass to Intune Management Extension

Merged
When using custom scripts allow the exit codes to be passed to intune management this will allow for additional error handling in a pre/post script
