We have a guide page regarding Windows installation issues: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/General_Installation_Issues_(Windows let's arrange it so that if the Windows installer fails with our MSI, the user gets a message suggesting they visit that page.
Code pointers: 1. MS documentation on the error dialog [1] 2. MS documentation on Hyperlink control [2] 2. ErrorDialog property [3] 3. SetupError dialog in instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/Dialog.idt 4. Respective controls in instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/Control.idt and instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/ControlE.idt [1] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/error-dialog [2] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/hyperlink-control [3] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/Property.idt?r=b17d6452#22
While at that: you could think how to make that page make it clearer that this is an error. We had questions because people didn't notice it tells about an error, and thought it succeeded, and then were confused seeing there's no results / unexpected result.

I've attached two suggestions for link layouts: 1. PushButton 2. Hyperlink Which one should we choose and what text?
(In reply to Jakub Kościelak from comment #5) > I've attached two suggestions for link layouts: > 1. PushButton > 2. Hyperlink > Which one should we choose and what text? I actually think that placing the button on the bottom row would be helpful. Otherwise - I think the button encourages users more to go there. I also want to second Mike's sentiment from comment #2: That screenshot looks like the installation _succeeded_! It says "complete", the button says "finish" - that does not seem like a failure. Shall we open a separate bug about that?
