Automatic refresh of fields in custom page
In my new installer, I would like to be able to monitor a number of things on the computer, and display their status in a combo_box on a custom page. I have written a function that goes through all the monitors and updates the combo accordingly.

At this stage, I have on my custom page a button "refresh" that will trigger that function and refresh the control. However, I'd like that function to be automatically triggered every 5 seconds, as soon as the page appears, while still allowing the user to click some of the other buttons on that page.

Is that at all possible in NSIS/InstallOptions/MUI ?

Not without writing a plugin that runs under a separate thread. Alternatively, you could look at InstallOptionsEx.
