Hello Brian, The CancelDlgText is used on the CancelDlg. When removing the product using the Maintenance Mode it will show the CancelDlg as you described. This is probably also the reason why the ActionText on the progress dialog for most installations is just "The installer is performing the requested actions". :-)
If the users removes the product using Control panel, no Cancel dialog/confirmation is shown. A trick to change the text could be using a property instead of the word "installation". E.g "Are you sure you want to cancel [ProductName] [INSTALLERACTION]". Define the INSTALLERACTION property with "installation" as default value. Then add a SetProperty custom action to set the INSTALLERACTION property to "uninstallation" if the "REMOVE" property is set (= uninstalling). Additionally you may set it to "reinstallation" if REINSTALL is set.
