Change text on components page
Are there any means to remove the "Or, select the optional components you wish to install" text on the MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS page?

Kind regards,
Chris

From the MUI Readme (section 3: Pages):

Page Settings apply to a single page and should be set before inserting a page macro. If you have multiple pages of one type and you want to set a setting for all them, put the setting before each page macro. Example:

;Add a directory page to let the user specify a plug-ins folder
;Store the folder in $PLUGINS_FOLDER

Var PLUGINS_FOLDER
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $PLUGINS_FOLDER
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

Note: There is no diference between installer and uninstaller page settings.

I found the example scripts which come with NSIS were a great help in understanding how to use NSIS.

To change the text on one of the MUI pages, you use some "define" statements before the page macro.

For example, to change the text on the MUI components page you need something like this:

!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_TEXT_TOP "My special text"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

If you want to change more than one thing on the page, insert the necessary "define" lines then the page macro:

!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_TEXT_TOP "My custom text"
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_TEXT_DESCRIPTION_TITLE "more custom text"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

The MUI Readme describes the various MUI pages and how to customise the text on them.
