It may be possible to "pause" an install while it is running. Also, it would be nice to have a "Cancel" button that kills the install and does automatic cleanup as well, so we're ready for another run.

Moving to Release Media/Installer.

Cancel is implemented in 2007.0 and pause just isn't feasible.
