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.

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.
