How are you launching the msi's? If you are using LaunchAppAndWait, you can use LAAW_PARAMETERS.nLaunchResult to determine if the msi was cancelled by the user.

Yes i using in LaunchAppAndWait but this function return only if the file open OK or not and if the msi open ok
and the user click cansel she return me success value and this is the problem
i need to know what is the real status.
do you have a recognize how to do it ?

Thank

As Kathy mentions, the return value of LaunchAppAndWait reports only whether InstallScript could find and launch the executable; but for the executable's return code, you'll want to check LAAW_PARAMETERS.nLaunchResult. Searching the help and these forums for "nLaunchResult" will give more information and examples.
