how to display a custom page when silent
I'm using the modern UI and I have a custom page that I want to display - even when running in Silent mode. How can I force a page to always display?

can you not use the IfSilent and SetSilent commands?

I don't think so. I initialize the pages at the begining of my script:

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES

Page custom ShowCustom LeaveCustom

!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM
!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES

But I can't wrap the middle line with a 'IfSilent' check. Can I? I tried but the compiler says the command isn't legal outside a function or section.

Install Options plugin can't be used when the installer is on silent mode.

You can still create another program without "Silent" flag to show that page.

You can detect if the user chose to show to use a silent installer with IfSilent and then hide the pages you don't want. But I suggest you don't do this. When a user asks for a silent installer he/she would expect a silent installer. If you want, you can process the command line for another switch which would cause this behavior.
