Hi,

Ok and Cancel buttons are hardcoded in inputdlg. You can copy the code of inputdlg.m and make changes in the CancelHandle String as shown in below code snippet.

CancelHandle=uicontrol(InputFig     ,              ...
  BtnInfo      , ...
  'Position'   ,[ FigWidth-BtnWidth-DefOffset DefOffset BtnWidth BtnHeight ]           , ...
  'KeyPressFcn',@doControlKeyPress            , ...
  'String'     ,'More Options', ... %getString(message('MATLAB:uistring:popupdialogs:Cancel'))    , ...
  'Callback'   ,@doCallback , ...
  'Tag'        ,'Cancel'    , ...
  'UserData'   ,'Cancel'       ...

You can find explanations in the internet, if you ask your favorite internet search engine for the appearing terms. E.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363792%28v=vs.85%29.aspx :

The function CacelIoEx is supported since Windows Vista. This means, that your Matlab version will not run under WindowsXP. Which Matlab version do you try to install?

See e.g. the requirements for R2015b: http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/index.html?sec=windows : Win7 SP1 or higher...
