What's wrong?

Hi Kari,

Well -- I think you can tell this from the log, but a custom action named
"CheckSilentUpgrade" is failing (return value of 3). CustomActions are
basically a black box, so there is no way for us to know what exactly it is
doing or why it is failing. All I can suggest is to contact PSS.
