Custom error message using WiX setup

Using a WiX setup, how do I show a custom error message dialog where it shows all the installation checked processes as tick marks and the failed check processes as close marks?

Sample of a custom error message using a WiX setup

And if any file checking conditions are not met. That is, if any of the installations shows a close mark then how do I force the user to stop the installation setup process?

You can do this using properties. Use the Bitmap control to set the icon. 

   <Binary Id="RightClick" SourceFile="Resources\Right.jpg" />
   <Binary Id="WrongClick" SourceFile="Resources\Wrong.jpg" />

Use SetProperty or CustomAction to set the property value based on a condition and pass the value to the Bitmap control.

<PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK40FULL" />
<Property Id="NETFramework_Icon" Value="WrongClick" />
<SetProperty Id="NETFramework_Icon" Value="RightClick" After="AppSearch">NETFRAMEWORK40FULL</SetProperty>

In dialog,

<Control Type="Bitmap" Id="NETFramewor40ico" Width="20" Height="20" X="240" Y="70" Text="[NETFramework_Icon]" />

Regarding the second query, disable the next button if any prerequisites are not installed or throw a custom error for silent installation.
