Cuoong,
I wanted to close the installer because it was packaged with a bunch of other,
unrelated software.
I never accept an installer that seems inclined to put other junk om my
machine that I did not ask for.
Especially, when the way to decline the extra junk is not crystal clear.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad you are having good luck with it.

Hi
Not sure I understand you all
JS install just a wizard to build the installer using inno setup. you can
create a template file then edit it for each package.
Why do you want to close the installer using Alt+f4? For me, i usually press
ESC.
