skip directory page on custom install
I have gone though the help and this forum to see if I
could understand the behavior of GetCurInstType call.

I have 3 install types, namely, Complete, Update Files,
and Custom.

i need to know wish type is selected to by able to skip the MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
on the Custom type

there is a wayto do that

thanks

Using Abort command in PRE function of a page to skip it.

You can create a custom page for this, using nsDialogs. There's an excellent tutorial in the nsDialogs readme: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/nsDialogs/Readme.html

if you have 3 type of install
and if a user choose costum and don't make a change in the selected option the GetCurInstType will return 2 instead of 32 but there is a another way to kinow the user have choose custom.

"If the first install type is selected, 0 will be put in user_var. If the second install type is selected, 1 will be put in user_var, and so on."

If you want to determine user selection otherwise, use SectionIsSelected on each section.

Sorry I don't follow this. Could you produce a small script that demonstrates this?

You have still

Page directory
Page instfiles

in your script.
You should remove these.
