Tools: InstallShield 2009 Premier, Basic MSI Project
I have added an interior dialog, and in that dialog I added a checkbox.
Now if the checkbox is checked I want to exit the setup (or, show a message box).
How?

Why would you want to do that? The dialog already has a cancel button, right? I suspect there's a deeper question here and I need to understand the goal to give a better answer.
Otherwise, take a look at behavior and logic | control events and look at how the cancel button does it. It calls the ControlEvent SpawnDialog argument CancelSetup condtion 1 ( Always ) and the CancelSetup dialog has an EndDialog | Exit event.

Hello Chrisotopher, there is a text box to enter a license key in the interior dialog, now I have to check whether the text input has matched(with a predefined text), say if not matched I don't want the setup to continue.How to do it?

Christopher, how to show a message box from inside an interior dialog (say, if the entered license doesn't match)?

You want to do this as a controlevent on the next button. You do something like this:(Order is top to bottom in IS)[KEYVALID] {} 1 // SetProperty ControlEvent to always null KEYVALID[KEYVALID] 1 IS_SERIAL_NUM="MY-LIC-KEY-TXT" // SetProperty CE to set it to one if validSpawnDialog BadKey Not IS_SERIAL_NUM // spawn modal dialogNewDialog CustomSetup IS_SERIAL_NUM // transition to next dialogRemember, MSI is an open database so anyone can open it up in ORCA and easily defeat this.
