Sorry not but i think you are able to use the ask function of autoyast.

http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Ask

See basically create a minimum install profile menationed in 
http://users.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html 
section:  1.4 What is smallest autoyast profile that makes sense?

and combine that with the ask profile. Now you should have your minimum profile with a box that tells the user that the install faild because of ... and he can do nothing or reboot ....

BTW: Why not using the rules.xml and a script within to tell the user that the installation failed ?

Thanks for your response, I will continue with the rules approach.    The main profile I have now focuses on a successful install of my application.   I need the simplest profile for failure that doesn't try to install any software - just abort with an error message.

Is there an example of a simple failure profile you've seen?
