Re: close the installation without warnings
Hello,
You can abort the installation by using a "Display error message" custom action. Also, you can use your own custom action which will return an exit code different than 0.
Let us know if this helped, otherwise please give us more details (maybe exemplify a bit more) about what you are trying to achieve.
All the best,
Daniel

Hi,
You can take a look on the how to Abort the Install on message box response thread which debates a similar problem. In your case, you can use only the VBS custom action (exit.vbs file) attached there.

Hi,
I'm afraid that the "X" button can be hidden only if you use other than the "System" frame for your theme in the "Themes" page. You can achieve this as described in the "Dialogue Page - Some question" thread.
Also, if you want the confirmation dialog not to be displayed when the user clicks the "Cancel" or the "X" buttons, you can go in the "Dialogs" page, select the "Cancel" button of each dialog, then add a new "Close the current dialog" published event and choose the "Exit" argument for it. After that, remove the default "Display a specific child dialog" published event that has the "CancelDlg" argument.
