[Inno Setup] How to create a OuterNotebook/welcome page in the uninstaller
You create the page as any other, except that its parent will be the UninstallProgressForm.OuterNotebook
, not the .InnerNotebook
.
Tricky part is not how to create the page, but how to implement the Next/Back buttons.
The Next button on the "welcome" page must change the page of the OuterNotebook
from the "welcome" page to the UninstallProgressForm.InnerPage
. And of course make sure the active page on the .InnerNotebook
is the first normal/inner page.
Conversely, the Back button on the first normal/inner page must change the page of the OuterNotebook
from the UninstallProgressForm.InnerPage
to the "welcome" page.
So modifying my answer to the Custom Uninstall page (not MsgBox) to cater for the above, you will get:

Note that there's no way to use the built-in images from the installer in the uninstaller. In my simple code above, I install the "welcome" page image to the {app}
and load it from there.
