annoying error message when canceling an install.

If the user cancels our install at the right (wrong?) time, they get an error dialog with the following message:

"Unable to extract installation data downloaded from the web"

The thing is, while we are using a web install, all of the files are contained on the CD, so this message appears very out of place to the end user. Is there any way to silence this error dialog? The install appears to cancel just fine once the user closes the dialog.

I was wondering if anyone else ran into the above error and if so how did you correct it? We are starting to run into the same problem using our web installers with people complaining if they hit cancel during the pre-req process they get the above error.

Dear Roostar2004,

You are saying that your users are using a web install. If that is the case, what's wrong with the above error message?
