Simpler Cancellation

I've long been annoyed by the extra step when cancelling an install.
When the user clicks the Cancel button, they are shown a popup
confirming that they want to cancel, which is fine, but then they get
one more screen saying that the installation was cancelled. I've seen
installers that don't show this final cancellation screen.

Two questions:
(1) How can I get the installer to exit immediately after the user
answers Yes to the confirmation.
(2) Is there a good reason why I should keep the final cancellation
screen?

I think you could simply don't user the ExitDlg.

Well, cancellation might fail, although it shouldn't, ExitDlg is just a
screen informing user the result of the cancellation.

You could define a property, that bypass ExitDlg when nothing wrong
happened.

Don't reference the UserExit dialog; it self-schedules to be shown after
cancellation.
