LangString doesn't work in onInit event
I got a problem : the message $(DESC_SpadNotFound) is always shown in french even when I choose english in the language combobox.

LangString DESC_SpadNotFound ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Spad 6 has not been found on this computer!"
LangString DESC_SpadNotFound ${LANG_FRENCH} "Spad version 6 n'a pas été trouvé sur votre système !"

Function .onInit
  !insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY
  ClearErrors
  ReadRegStr $0 HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\App Paths\winspad60.exe\Path\" ""
  ${If} ${Errors}
    MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$(DESC_SpadNotFound)"
    Abort
  ${Else}
    StrCpy $INSTDIR "$0"    
  ${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Thank you. The language problem is corrected.

But how can I abort the setup if I'm in a custom page and not in the .onInit function anymore?

Using Quit.

Don't forget the custom page won't show in silent mode. You should add a check for that in .onInit.

Thank you very much. Finally, I replaced my LangString lines by tests. It's simpler as I only have one message string:

Function .onInit
  !insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY  
  ClearErrors
  ReadRegStr $0 HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\App Paths\winspad60.exe\Path\" ""
  ${If} ${Errors}
    ${If} "$LANGUAGE" == "${LANG_FRENCH}"
      MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Spad version 6 n'a pas été trouvé sur votre système !"
    ${Else}
      MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Spad 6 has not been found on this computer!"
    ${EndIf}
    Abort
  ${Else}
    StrCpy $INSTDIR "$0"    
  ${EndIf}   
FunctionEnd
