How to interactive a silently installing msi? (Progress data and cancel it)

For some reason, we are delivering a product with our own install GUI, that means, we will run the msi installation silently background.

By using the MSI API "MsiInstallProduct", I can install the product silently, but I have no idea how can I get the progress data of this installation and how can I cancel it.

Anyone has some ideas?
