The only thing I left out is the custommessages.

Solution 2

You can forward-declare a method, like authentication_form_CreatePage if you don't like to reorder your methods:

//forward declaration
function authentication_form_CreatePage(PreviousPageId: Integer): Integer; forward;

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
     //the method is known to the compiler, even before he looked into it
     authentication_form_CreatePage(wpLicense);
end;

function authentication_form_CreatePage(PreviousPageId: Integer): Integer;
begin
    ... actual implementation ...
end;

I have been working on custom pages on Inno Setup. I have the example code sample below, but when I run in on my Inno setup script editor, a compiler error pops up. It says: "Compiler error: Line 63: Column 3: Unknown identifier "authentication_form_CreatePage". I cannot see any mistake. But there is one. If anyone can see it and knows about it, can you help me to cope with this please?
