I've managed to remove both the close and the cancel button in 7-zip. Ryan figured out a way to keep the title bar but remove the close button.

500 DIALOG 0, 0, 186, 26
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION
CAPTION "Progress"
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"
{
   CONTROL "Progress1", 1000, "msctls_progress32", PBS_SMOOTH | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, 7, 7, 172, 14 
}

Astalavista, that's a really good idea.

7zip, no close button anymore....
Does the close button (top-right of dialog) still exist though?

Maybe I'm a newbie into this but...

how do I implement this?

a step by step explanation will really help. I downloaded the file, had to rename the single sfx inside the archive to exe, and got an "Unspecified Error" while trying to execute.

In what programming language is the "fix" made?

1. Install 7zip - http://www.7-zip.org/
2. Make SFX archives using its cool compression levels, become happy.
3. Then find out during your unattended install's extractions of this archive, that your users love to click cancel or exit by using close button. Become sad.
4. Now download the SFX module file from the other thread.
5. Replace the file 7zS.SFX (the sfx module) in 7zip program folder with the above one.
6. Now whatever SFXes you make are not having cancel button or close button anymore, which gives your uA installs some extent of certainty (because we want to control/restrict the possible points of failure in the setup).
7. Start singing happily


Hoping this explains it...

Now if only I could get the % on the other side of the window title...

[Wraith]

....you could just compile a new SFX.

The XPlode installer is just a glorified 7z SFX archive...
