The way I have = set it up is a main project does some initialization work then makes a = ant call for every software a user wish to install (meaning knowledge of = install of a software is contained in a separate file). What I want to = do is that, if a software install fails, I need to clean up all the = install that has happened till that point. But the knowledge of the fact = that the install has failed is only available to the sub project whereas = the "clean task" has to be initiated from the main project. Wondering = any idea how to achieve this? Any idea would be appreciated. Sushil ------=_NextPart_000_0080_01C35446.2E423280--
