Custompage vanishing text problem

I have some problem with my custompage.
The text for the custom page is displayed correctly as the page comes up.
But as I click "install" and a message box pops up, the text just vanishes (the title and subtitle stay) and doesn't show up even after the message box is gone.

Here's the code:

Function Framework

;disable "cancel" button

GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 2

EnableWindow $0 0

;set Text

!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT $(Frame_TITLE) $(Frame_SUBTITLE)

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "Framework" "Field 2" "Text" $(Field1)

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "Framework" "Field 5" "Text" $(Field2)



;checks if Framework is installed

ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727" "Install"



${If} $R0 != ""

!insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_WRITE "Framework" "Field 2" "Text" "$(FRAME_TEXT)"

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "Framework"

Messagebox MB_OKCANCEL "$(CANCELUPDATE)" IDOK weiter IDCANCEL abbruch



${Else}

!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "Framework"

Messagebox MB_OKCANCEL "$(CANCELFRAME)" IDOK weiter IDCANCEL abbruch



abbruch:

Messagebox MB_OK "$(ABBRUCH)"

quit

${EndIf}

I don't know if this is a bug, or if I'm simply missing something, but I'm grateful for all help.

You probably have some overlapping controls. Make sure all the figures match what you really want and that no control overlaps another.

No, that does not seem to be it. The whole behavior of the custom- install page is a bit strange. If I use Installoptions_show to display the text again, then I have to click "install" again to resume installation...
I worked around it by simply using the banner plugin.

Ah, that's the problem. You can't call MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY twice. That'd cause all kinds of trouble, including this. You must have a separate page for each MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY call.

Display is the same as show? Well, no matter, cause that can't be the problem. I didn't work before I put it in, and it doesn't when I take it out.
Even if I take the display out of the conditional and put it somewhere else, the text still vanishes.
I assumed it's some peculiarity of installing pages. Like showing different text before, during and after the installation, just that I couldn't find out how to put in other text then the before one.
