Showing a custom page if...
 

        IfFileExists "$TEMP\map-compiler.ini" WriteSettingsNo
        WriteINIStr "$TEMP\map-compiler.ini" "Settings" "Show" "Yes"
        WriteSettingsNo:

        ReadINIStr $1 "$TEMP\map-compiler.ini" "Settings" "Show"
        StrCmp $1 Yes ViewSettingsYes ViewSettingsNo
        ViewSettingsYes:
        Page Custom SetCustom2 " - Change required settings"
        ViewSettingsNo:

  ReadINIstr $2 "$TEMP\map-compiler_settings.ini" "Field 6" "State"
  StrCmp $2 1 DialogYes DialogNo
   DialogYes:
        Page Custom SetCustom2 " - Change required settings"
   DialogNo:

I have tried puttin this code everywhere, but it won't work.
I'd like the custom page to show before the MUI Welcome page only if the user has aloowed it before.
On first load of the program, the user will be allowed to toggle 'Show settings dialog'. If it is off (0) then it won't be shown again.

Why isn't the custom page showing?

Page is not a runtime command. The fact that it can be used in sections and functions has been fixed in the latest CVS version. You'll need to condition the call to InstsallOptions, because you can't condition Page.

For example:

ShowPage

  StrCmp$1 No skip

    InstallOptions::dialog $TEMPdialog.ini

    Pop$2

  skip:

>FunctionEnd

I see.
I'd have the function and now have...

ReadINIStr $1 "$TEMP\map-compiler.ini" "Settings" "Show"
        StrCmp $1 Yes ViewSettingsYes ViewSettingsNo
        ViewSettingsYes:
        Call ShowPage
        ViewSettingsNo:

Yeah?

I don't know where to put this piece of code. It needs to go in a function, but the only function before the welcome page is ${PRE}
Putting it in there works, but it really doesn't work good.
Clicking next goes to the welcome page, but the back button doesn't appear.
Also, clicking next once brings up the custom IO page again.

I think I will have to do this..

Function .onInit
WriteINIStr "$TEMP\map-compiler_settings_show.ini" " " " " " "
FunctionEnd

Function ShowPage
        IfFileExists "$TEMP\map-comiler_settings_show.ini" 0 +2
        InstallOptions::dialog "$TEMP\map-compiler_settings.ini"
FunctionEnd

Function .onInstSuccess
        Delete "$TEMP\map-compiler_settings_show.ini"
FunctionEnd

Ok, well the Next and Back buttons still screwed...

Custom Page
Next >

Welcome Page
Next >
No < Back button

InstFiles Page
< Back, Next>
< Back goes to Custom Page not Welcome Page

Never mind. I have changed it to a perminant page, since once the page was turned off, the user couldn't turn it back on.
It doesn't matter too much that the user has to go through one more page really!

If you use Modern UI, and custom pages, you have to use:

!define MUI_PAGECOMMAND_[PAGE_NAME]

In your case, you used the:

!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE

So, you should use:

!define MUI_PAGECOMMANDS_WELCOME

That would remove the welcome page and replace it with my custom page would it not?

Only replace the !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE by !define MUI_PAGECOMMANDS_WELCOME. Nothing else. This will should help you.

[edit]Whoops, is MUI_PAGECOMMAND_WELCOME, sorry![/edit]

You need both !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE and !insertmaco MUI_PAGECOMMAND_WELCOME. Insert the macro on the right place between the other page commands.
