There is no InstFiles page as the warning points out. They haven't used one in that script. They obviously didn't need one.

Edit: It's not an error. A script is perfectly valid without an InstFiles page; it wouldn't get built if it weren't valid.

If they decided not to have an instfiles page in their installer then that is their decision. If you are having problems you should contact them.
