How to cancel NSIS Installer after executed powershell script was canceled?

For my software suite I created an installer with NSIS. This installer includes a powershellscript with a GUI. I want to cancel the installation process after the user has clicked the cancelbutton in the powershell gui.

The script creates a powershell gui with a listbox. The listbox-item will be written in a txt-file. There are two buttons: One for OK - to write the item in the file, the other button is a cancel button. After the ok-button was clicked, the second form opens.

Some code snippets from the powershellscript:

$CancelButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel

if('Ok' -eq $form.ShowDialog())
 {
   $msg = "Item copied to txt-file"
   [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($msg,"Confirmation",0)
 }

With this instruction I call the PS-Script in NSIS:

ExecWait "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -File nameofscript.ps1 -FFFeatureOff"

If you return an exit code from your PowerShell on cancel, you can handle that from the NSIS script:

Powershell:

if ($form.ShowDialog() -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel)
{
    exit 1
}

NSIS:

ClearErrors
ExecWait "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -File nameofscript.ps1 -FFFeatureOff"
IfErrors 0 noError
; Handle error here
noError:
