Understanding the MUI Settings

[scarleton]

As I posted a few days ago, I am migrating from .Net 3.5 to 4.7.1 and trying to tweak the install which normally requires little attention on my part.

Thanks to folks in this form I did discover that the NSISDotNetChecker is working correctly. The only problem is on Windows 10 it isn't working exactly to my liking and on Windows 7 there is no visual that it is downloading and installing.

The reason I don't think there is a visual is because I am using the MUI, which if memory serves is the newer UI. Right now I have the NSISDotNetChecker running in the .onInit. I tried moving it later in the process, but then the UI simply did the "not responding".

I am wondering if anyone as any tips for how to get some type of UI so the user knows what is going on. Here is the beginning of my script:

code:
; -------------------------------

; Start

!define PRODUCT_NAME "App Name"

!define PRODUCT_VERSION "app version"

!define PRODUCT_PUBLISHER "Company Name"

!define PRODUCT_WEB_SITE "http://www.AppName.com"

!define PRODUCT_DIR_REGKEY "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AppName.exe"

!define PRODUCT2_DIR_REGKEY "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\KioskViewingStation.exe"

!define PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${PRODUCT_NAME}"

!define PRODUCT_UNINST_ROOT_KEY "HKLM"

;!define QTDIR ${QTDIR}



!define SHORT_APP_NAME "App Name - Grand Marshal"

!define SUPPORT_EMAIL "scarleton@miltonstreet.com"



!define GM_SHORTCUT_NAME "App Name GM v${PRODUCT_VERSION}"



!define /date NOW "%m:%d:%Y"



SetCompressor /SOLID LZMA

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH



; Uninstaller pages

!insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES



; Language files

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"



; MUI end ------

LangString REGFORM_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Registration."

LangString REGFORM_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Enter your Unlock Key."

A plug-in like Inetc will display progress if you use that to download the .NET installer when required. MUI is probably not related to this issue.
