Way to cancel silent MSI installation?

Hi, I'm trying to use TrueUpdate 3.0 as a UI shell over MSI and do a few things like display a web page during installation. I have things working well enough for that, but my problem right now is that when I fire off a silent MSI installation underneath the UI I can't cancel it.

I was thinking of writing a little .exe that would send a message to the install using the MSI API, but I would rather not do that if there is some way to cancel a live install using the functionality provided by TrueUpdate.

Hi mcheshier,

There is no built in way to do this using TrueUpdate 3.0, however you might look at using the MSI dll and the DLL.CallFunction() action to accomplish your needs.
