InnoSetup not asking for destination folder [duplicate] - inno-setup

Question

I create my application with py2exe and package it into an installer exe using Inno Setup on Windows 7. The installer created this way can then be installed on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 systems. When it works, the installer shows following screens in sequence:
Welcome screen
EULA screen
default (or previous install) location, allowing user to select new install location,
Confirming install location, and
usual install screens.
This is the behavior I get with Inno Setup 5.5.5 or lower.
With Inno Setup 5.5.7 and higher (did not try 5.5.6), the installer is created normally and can be setup as above on Windows 7. However, the same installer fails to show screens 1 and 3 from above list during setup on Windows 10: setup directly starts with EULA screen and then jumps to confirm install location. The confirm screen doesn't even show which directory the installation will be done.
Continuing allows the installation to happen in the default location and the application works normally. Not knowing the install location is highly annoying and undesirable.
The .iss file that I use (see below) is identical across the different Inno Setup versions that I have tried. In the file, the DefaultDirName is set explicitly (based on the version of the application).
[Setup]
AppName=MyApp
AppVersion=2.0.1
AppVerName=MyApp 2.0.1
DefaultDirName=C:\MyApp_v2.0.1
[Files]
Source: "MyApp_main.exe"; DestDir: "{app}\"; Flags: ignoreversion
I also tried packaging the installer with Inno Setup (5.5.7 and 5.5.9) on Windows 10, but it had the same behavior.
I was wondering it I need to set additional parameters for the installer to work correctly on Windows 10 also for newer versions of Inno Setup?

Answer 1

Quoting revision history for Inno Setup 5.5.7:
As recommended by Microsoft's desktop applications guideline, DisableWelcomePage now defaults to yes. Additionally DisableDirPage and DisableProgramGroupPage now default to auto. The defaults in all previous versions were no.
Conclusion:
The Welcome page is not shown anymore by default. To enable it, set the DisableWelcomePage:
DisableWelcomePage=no
I do not think you are right with your statement that the page shows on Windows 7.
The "Select Destination Location" page is shown for fresh installations only, not for "upgrades". So this has nothing to do with Windows 7 vs. Windows 10. The difference is probably that you have the application installed on Windows 10 system; and you do not have it installed on the Windows 7 system.
To show the page always, set the DisableDirPage:
DisableDirPage=no
Thought as mentioned in the quote above, the defaults are recommended, so you should follow them.

Answer 2

I found another parameters that affects it.
CreateAppDir=no
In CreateAppDir page says:
If this is set to no, no directory for the application will be created, the Select Destination Location wizard page will not be displayed, and the {app} directory constant is equivalent to the {win} directory constant. If the uninstall feature is enabled when CreateAppDir is no, the uninstall data files are created in the system's Windows directory.

Answer 3

here I used
[Setup]
DisableDirPage=No
by default this parameter is seted to auto.
If this is set to auto, at startup Setup will look in the registry to
see if the same application is already installed, and if so, it will
not show the Select Destination Location wizard page.
