How to show HTML HELP?
At the conclusion of the installation process, I would like to user to see an HTML Help file (rather than a simple ReadMe). However, neither MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN nor MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME seems to be interested in my myapp.chm file. Is there a way to show such a file?

Exec "$INSTDIR\myapp.chm"

You can create a custom function to be run if the user checks the checkbox which could contain this. (see MUI readme)

Actually, ExecShell is better in this case because a CHM is not really an executable. But MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME should work and works fine for me (it uses ExecShell internally). For example:

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\UserGuide_en.chm"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
