Working with non standard return codes

Return codes are used to feed back information on whether a software has installed correctly.

In Windows, the standard successfull return code is [0].

If you know that your WAPT packages installs correctly, yet you still get a return code other than [0], then you can explicitly tell WAPT to ignore the error code by using the parameter accept_returncodes.

You can find out how to use the accept_returncodes parameter by exploring this package code.
