Custom Action Returning Error -- visual studio .net setup

Hello,

I have created an msi which calls an executable as a custom action. If
an error occurs inside the custom action exe and I throw it, the
exception is treated as unhandled. Is there a way for me send the
error back to the msi when my custom action is an executable?

Thanks

If you return a non-zero exit code, Windows Installer will treat the result
as failure of the custom action.
