There's already a label on InstFiles page which you should be able to manage with SetDetailsPrint and DetailPrint.
Isn't it what you want?

I don't want user to choose language in uninstall setup.
so I don't !insertmacro MUI_UNGETLANGUAGE.

I found if I do the following way.
Function un.onInit
StrCpy $LANGUAGE 1033
FunctionEnd

the uninstall setup will use English UI.
If StrCpy $LANGUAGE 2052,it will use Chinese UI.

So I want to define a virable in install setup to record the $LANGAUAGE value.Then I can use it in uninstall setup.

###install setup##
Var keepLanguageID
#################
Function un.onInit
StrCpy $LANGUAGE $keepLanguageID
FunctionEnd

The problem is how to keep $keepLanguageID's life cycle to un.onInit function!!

Well, did you really check the suggested example and the uninstaller pops up the select language dialog?

For broadcasting background images,I changed the installfiles page to look like a banner with API functions.And added a Static Label on the page with "ResHacker.exe".
I want to enhance my script's removability,so I have a idea to add the Static Label on the installfiles page with API Function.But I don't know which function can realize that.

The example keep the $LANGUAGE for uninstaller in register table.
I don't want to use that way.If user deleted the register table manually.then uninstaller cannot get right value.

The only method for the uninstaller to know the selected language during installation is to read it somehow either from registry or from ini.
The suggested example automates this specific procedure for both installer and uninstaller.
