Show Required Component
Quick question, well, maybe three...

First, is there any easy way to have something show up in the Components Dialog component list, but have it checked, and the not be able to be unchecked? Pretty much make it a required item, but still show it in the components dialog?

Second, is there a way to have an "Install Failed" finish screen, instead of just aborting the install? Essentially, I am checking for .Net to be installed, and if it is not, I want to have the Finish Screen show, but with a message about the program not installing correctly, cause it is missing .Net.

First, welcome to the forums dude :)
About your questions:

1. In the Manual read about "Section" You might use:
a) The "RO" parameter
b) The SetSectionFlag instruction in the Components show function.
c) Look in to the examples, there's one about the components section.

2. You can create your own custom page with Install Options, open its radme file to learn how to create custom pages.

Oops, I left out that I am using the Modern UI... would that change your response at all?
