Complete Install and Uninstall rollback
Hello,

I have a very large set of learning videos and mp3 files to be installed(fairly speaking to be copied in specific directory order) along with our custom player.
The normal installer is ready now and the compiled size is 2.7GB (monster but fits into a DVD).

The problem here is during the installation the next button is disabled and user can not cancel the setup. I want the setup to be able to cancel the installation process and rollback(preferablly with the progressbar in the reverse oredr like it does with MS Office setup).

I also want the uninstall process be with the same functionality.

A prime thaught was of moving the things to temp one by one and on final screen delete it but it would take too long to perform the task.

Any ideas guys? Any new hot feature or pulgin?

That's not currently possible with NSIS alone. However, some plug-ins might help you achieve that. CABSetup recently got cancellation ability.
