I wanted to set the checkbox as checked by default in the windows installer Finish page using NSIS. For that I used the below code snipped. But it is not even displaying the checkbox in the Finish page. Please help me on this.
Var Checkbox
Var CheckState ; Stored globally so we remember the choice if the user presses the back button and goes back to our page
!define CheckHeight 28
!macro CreateNativeControl hParent cls style exstyle x y w h text ; Note: Only supports pixel coordinates
System::Call 'USER32::CreateWindowEx(i ${exstyle}, t "${cls}", ts, i ${style}, i ${x}, i ${y}, i ${w}, i ${h}, p ${hParent}, i0, i0, i0)p.s' "${text}"
!macroend
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW FinishShow
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
Function FinishShow
System::Call *(i,i,i,i)p.r0 ; NSIS 2.51+
System::Call 'USER32::GetWindowRect(p$mui.FinishPage.Text, pr0)'
System::Call 'USER32::MapWindowPoints(i0,p$mui.FinishPage,p$0,i2)'
System::Call '*$0(i.r2,i.r3,i.r4,i.r5)'
System::Free $0
IntOp $5 $5 - ${CheckHeight}
System::Call 'USER32::SetWindowPos(i$mui.FinishPage.Text,i,i,i,i$4,i$5,i0x6)'
; Create and initialize the checkbox
IntOp $5 $3 + $5 ; y = TextTop + TextHeight
!insertmacro CreateNativeControl $mui.FinishPage ${__NSD_CheckBox_CLASS} "${__NSD_CheckBox_STYLE}" "${__NSD_CheckBox_EXSTYLE}" 0 $5 300 ${CheckHeight} "CheckboxTest"
Pop $Checkbox
SendMessage $mui.FinishPage ${WM_GETFONT} 0 0 $0
SendMessage $Checkbox ${WM_SETFONT} $0 1
System::Call 'USER32::SetWindowPos(i$Checkbox,i0,i,i,i,i,i0x33)'
${IfThen} $CheckState == "" ${|} StrCpy $CheckState 1 ${|}
${NSD_SetState} $Checkbox $CheckState
FunctionEnd
The finish page has built-in support for two optional check-boxes:
!include MUI2.nsh
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN ""
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "Run Foo"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION MyRunFoo
;define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_NOTCHECKED
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "$InstDir\Bar.exe"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT "Run Bar"
;define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_NOTCHECKED
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
Function MyRunFoo
; Exec '"$InstDir\Foo.exe"'
FunctionEnd

Your example code is also missing a important call to !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE.
The function specified by MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION is only executed if the checkbox is checked. This is normal expected behavior.
If you want to do custom handling you can do it in the leave page:
!include nsDialogs.nsh
!include LogicLib.nsh
!include MUI2.nsh
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN ""
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "Blah blah"
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE FinishLeave
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
Function FinishLeave
${NSD_GetState} $mui.FinishPage.Run $0 ; or $mui.FinishPage.ShowReadme
${If} $0 <> 0
MessageBox mb_ok "Checkbox checked"
${Else}
MessageBox mb_ok "Checkbox not checked"
${EndIf}
FunctionEnd
Is it possible to make the the destination folder field in MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY page readonly and disable the browse button?
InstallDir "$ProgramFiles\Whatever"
!include MUI2.nsh

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW RestrictDirPage
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
Function RestrictDirPage
!if "${MUI_SYSVERSION}" >= 2.0
SendMessage $mui.DirectoryPage.Directory ${EM_SETREADONLY} 1 0
EnableWindow $mui.DirectoryPage.BrowseButton 0
!else
FindWindow $0 '#32770' '' $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $1 $0 0x3FB
SendMessage $1 ${EM_SETREADONLY} 1 0
GetDlgItem $1 $0 0x3E9
EnableWindow $1 0
!endif

How to change the Background color of MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_TEXT_TOP in NSIS?
The function SetCtlColor is not working.
I even tried to find the ItemID,but could not find the correct ID.
!include MUI.nsh
Var MySMDir
!define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_TEXT_TOP "Blah blah"
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW OnStartmenuPageShow
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU SMD $MySMDir
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
Function OnStartmenuPageShow
FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT ; Find the inner dialog
GetDlgItem $0 $0 0x3EB
/* Uncomment to use MUI specific ways of finding the control
!if "${MUI_SYSVERSION}" >= 2.0
GetDlgItem $0 $mui.StartMenuPage 0x3EB
!else
GetDlgItem $0 $MUI_HWND 0x3EB
!endif */
SetCtlColors $0 774411 aaccff

I have an installer using the Modern UI 2 (MUI 2) that installs up to three components into different locations.
I use a MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS page and multiple MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY pages which are skipped automatically if the corresponding section is not selected (like described here).
So far so good.
However, if the last of the three components is not chosen to be installed, the button on the previous (not-skipped) directory page should say Install instead of Next, because next the last directory page will be skipped and the installation will be executed.
Since we already know which page will be skipped after we leave the components page, I wonder if there is a way to make it work?
Minimal example:
!include MUI2.nsh
InstallDir $EXEDIR
OutFile "skip.exe"
RequestExecutionLevel user
ShowInstDetails show
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE directoryPreA
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE directoryPreB
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
Section "A" SEC_A
DetailPrint "Installing A..."
SectionEnd
Section /o "B" SEC_B
DetailPrint "Installing B..."
SectionEnd
Function directoryPreA
# Skips the directory page for A if not chosen for installation.
${Unless} ${SectionIsSelected} ${SEC_A}
Abort
${EndUnless}
FunctionEnd
Function directoryPreB
# Skips the directory page for B if not chosen for installation.
${Unless} ${SectionIsSelected} ${SEC_B}
Abort
${EndUnless}
