I'm using WixSharp for building an installer.

How can I NOT show the user custom error messages during silent install only? I mean - running via GUI will show the errors, only via silent install not.

For example adding this custom message of disabling repair:

 installer.Load += e =>
                {
                    if (e.IsRepairing)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Repair is not supported");
                        e.Result = ActionResult.UserExit;
                    }                       
                };

I'm getting the error above while running repair either via GUI or via silent mode. I want to get this via GUI mode only.

@Ermiya Eskandary- I'm not sure what do you mean by UAC? – R.P Oct 16 '21 at 20:41
Sorry, elevated privileges? run as admin during the installation? – Ermiya Eskandary Oct 16 '21 at 20:42
@Ermiya Eskandary - yes, it needs. – R.P Oct 16 '21 at 20:44
Try to check `e.UILevel`. This should be 2 for silent installation. See https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp/blob/d809ad85510a84849ee0ab0a249d375077c64ef5/Source/src/WixSharp/ManagedProject/SetupEventArgs.cs#L89 and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/installer-uilevel?redirectedfrom=MSDN for details – Serg Oct 16 '21 at 21:22
