  // task can be run but there are warnings. show warnings to the user and let it decide whether or not to run the install task
} else {
  try {
    task.run(userPrefs);
  } catch (Throwabe t) {
    // if an error occurred do the rollback.
    task.rollback();
  }
}
// show install result to the user.
if (task.isRestartRequired()) {
