A few follow up questions, to better understand your needs. Do you want to hide just the Cancel button or also the X button from the titlebar?
Also, have you considered using the updater in silent mode, where the updater provides the detection and install logic but you display whatever messages you ...

A better version of these tools can be found in PacKit , where we will continue to improve them. Paying users of Advanced Installer Architect will receive full access. More details ...

Re: Create Desktop Shortcut through an MSIX package
If you have Advanced Installer v19.3 or higher you don't need to follow the steps from this forum post. There is an easier built-in way to create a desktop shortcut, as described in this article:

Re: Troubles Creating MSIX Package from Scratch
Hi John,
The AIP file you attached is empty, other than a reference to your certificate it does not contain any other configurations, besides our defaults.
Can you attach an updated version of your test project? Or zip it all together (binaries included) if it's just for testing purposes.
