conditions associated with the software components.
– A return code of 1 indicates an informational event.
– A return code of 2 indicates a warning condition; this will not prevent
the installation of the software, but disables the Typical installation
option. You can install disabled components using the Custom
installation option.
– A return code of 3 indicates a failure. One or more features are
disabled and cannot be installed.

codes include software policy restrictions, script restrictions, lack of folder
permissions, and size constraints. See "Return Codes While Running the
Prerequisite Check Silently," for more information on PreReqChecker
return codes.
