Question

I got this very odd issue with my NSIS installer, it is showing the components page/sections, after everything has been installed??

I haven’t got this on an another installer of mine and I can’t figure out what seems to be causing this..

Pages are shown in the order the statements Page or !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_xx are listed

You have misplaced the components page:

; Instfiles page
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

Here the page for choosing the components will appear after the file installation progression.
