Execure-MSI error handling

Hello,
In the installation script among other staff I’m installing an MSI like this:

Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "$dirfiles\AmazonRedshiftODBC64-1.3.7.1000.msi"

and getting the console log like this:

[02-01-2021 19:04:00.713] [Initialization] [Exit-Script] :: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can add error handler (try-catch) for this particular error exit code? I’d like to ignore this error and keep going with the further installation. Now the scrip exist with error

Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "$dirfiles\AmazonRedshiftODBC64-1.3.7.1000.msi" -IgnoreExitCodes "1603"

Just make sure you’re using the latest version of the toolkit.
