Custom Page location in script and page skipping
Hello. I have two issues with my script that I have spent a fair amount of time into trying to understand but haven't been able to resolve. I would be grateful if some assistance could be provided.

The first issue relates to custom pages. I have defined MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE with the function 'InstallTypeinserted'. It is supposed to run after MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS to determine whether to skip NavigateDBLocation or not. The idea is that if $1 had the value of '0' then skip the custom page but if $1 was '1' or '2' then essentially not to skip.

It also became apparent to me that I made a generous error in my understanding of the procedure of page loading. What I mean by that I can't work out why I needed to put MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE where it is. I had thought that it in the script it would be like this:

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "LICENSE AGREEMENT - Records.txt"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE InstallType
Page custom NavigateDBLocation
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

It seems that I was wrong.

The second issue relates to the page skip itself. In the function InstallType, I have been able to demonstrate that the values shown in the message box do in fact correlate to the radiobutton selection that denotes the type of install in MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS. The bit that I can't get is how to do the actual page skip.

Please find the essence of the script attached, and many thanks for your help.

To skip the page call Abort in the custom page's Show function.

Also, to define a custom pre, show or leave function for MUI pages the define must come before not after the page insertion.
