Hello ALL,
When launching the uninstall from Add\Remove programs applet, the progress bar contains Cancel button (see attached bmp).
At first, I thought that the UninstallString registry value in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode}\ should be changed in this way:
msiexec /x{ProductCode} /qb!
But, it does not work, I even tried to write custom action that hide the cancel button (the example appears in msdn), but again it does not work.
So, how can I hide it?

Please help,
Thanks in advance,
Limor

I believe that you can write a custom action to hide/show the cancel button.

MsiSetInternalUi can have a parameter of INSTALLUILEVEL_HIDECANCEL

Or

MsiProcessMessage with INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA

Or

msiexec /qb!

You will need to read the documentation to see the full details.

Unfortunatly, I dont think there is a property you can set to hide the cancel button
