This is function that doesn't currently exist, and while you could probably disable the "Cancel" button, I don't think you'd be able to reliably prevent a determined user from breaking out of the installation process. If you're interested in adding it this function, the source code for the installer is accessible via https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html. Cygwin is an open source project; two of the common phrases on this list are "Someone has to do it" () and "Patches thoughtfully considered". If you or your employer aren't willing to write and submit the patches yourselves, if you ask on this list you might find other developers willing to do work on a contracting basis. You *might* get lucky and find someone who will do it without pay, but I don't imagine this is the sort of thing that anyone would be interested in doing for free.
