DirRequest
For my installer, i want the user choose the installation path by Browse button; NOT by input.

May i disable input in MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY and in a page created with INSTALLOPTIONS ?

Thanks for help.

Both - yes. In both cases, get the control, and disable it.

For the standard MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY, adjust your code like this:

Add a callback function for when the page gets shown


!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW ShowFunc
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

In the callback function, get the control and disable it


Function ShowFunc
        ; Get the inner (MUI) dialog
        FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT

        ; Get the directory edit field
        GetDlgItem $1 $0 0x3fb

        ; Disable the field
        EnableWindow $1 0
FunctionEnd

If you're wondering where the 0x3fb comes from - download WinSpy++ - it allows you to drag&drop a crosshair onto any control and gets its Control ID (among many other goodies).
