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

Search the forum for "oninit langstring" and find:

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
