I found myself installing a certain very large portable app into the wrong folder and helplessly stared at it as it kept installing.
Could you add a stop button into the *.paf.exe files?
That's how it usually is in other installers.
It should be especially easy in this case as the installer basically extracts files. So just stop extracting them and delete their folder.

It's a bit more complicated due to the way the installer works, especially in terms of upgrades since you just leave a broken app. You have to code each section of the installer to handle a cancel and then figure out how it's going to handle it. It is possible to add in, but it's a relatively low priority since most users install via the PA.c Platform which won't show the installer anyway.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
