I use a similar feature to what you ask in my installer, to decide whether a user will have a full power installation or limited installation ("Low Resource Mode")

  if LowResourceCB.Checked then begin
    ExtractTemporaryFile('low_ARC.ini');
    ExtractTemporaryFile('low_CLS.ini');
  end else begin
    ExtractTemporaryFile('ARC.INI');
    ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS.INI');
  end;

Hopefully this helps you out. This code is tied with a checkbox.

('low_ARC.ini');('low_CLS.ini');
;

How do you rename them later? ISDone or UnARc don't read "low_ARc.ini" as "ARC.ini" do they?

[KaktoR]

Try like this

  if LowResourceCB.Checked then begin
    ExtractTemporaryFile('low_ARC.ini');
    ExtractTemporaryFile('low_CLS.ini');
    RenameFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\low_ARC.ini', '{tmp}\Arc.ini'));
    RenameFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\low_CLS.ini', '{tmp}\Cls.ini'));
  end else begin
    ExtractTemporaryFile('ARC.INI');
    ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS.INI');
  end;

This code has to be placed BEFORE archive unpacking begins.

How to show custom text instead of LABELCURRFILE
I know that we need to put .Hide in front of it to stop showing current file name but what to do to show custom text like
Extracting or Unpacking...... etc

I also need that.....

[KaktoR]

LABELCURFILE is not inside InnoSetup Support, maybe you mean 'StatusLabel' instead?

StatusLabel is showing 'Unpacking Files ...', FileNameLabel is showing current file.

However, to make a new TLabel or TNewStaticText variable you can do something like this.

var
  MyText: TLabel;

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
  MyText := TLabel.Create(WizardForm);
    with MyText do begin
      Parent := WizardForm.InstallingPage;
      Caption := 'My Text here'; // you can also use constants like '{cm:MyText}' with [CustomMessage] section if you like it to make multi langual
      Left := ScaleX(1);
      Top := ScaleY(1);
      Width := ScaleX(150);
      Height := ScaleY(12);
      Wordwrap := False;
    end;
end;

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: integer);
  if CurPageID = wpInstalling then begin
    //Here you can hide (x.Hide) or show (x.Show) your variable
    MyText.Show;
  end;
end;

There was a plugin for Inno Setup that allowed for bat file / console application output to be redirected to the inno Setup memo window instead of producing a cmd window.

The name seems to have slipped my mind - can anyone help?

I know and have public versions there is "ISUtils.dll" (by Peterf1999) and also "Memo Console for Inno Setup" (Console.dll) (by BLACKFIRE69).
It has other libraries like cmdout.dll (by Ele) but I don't know if it's public.
I've also attached here an example using version without libraries.

Yes, it wasn't a public Lib. I only use it on my personal projects. If anyone finds it useful, here it is.
Tested with: Inno 5.5.1.ee2(unicode) Enhanced and Inno 6.2.0(unicode).

Note: There're two separate libraries here. One is for Inno and the other is for Delphi.

@Ele, thanks your plugin works great in my tests. I tried the dll by BLACKFIRE69 however I could not get it to work.

Is there a way to stop my memo from echoing the same thing twice?

Currently I have it set to echo the file currently being extracted however this means it echoes the same file over and over again until it moves onto the next file.

Here's the current code:

function ProgressCallback(OveralPct, CurrentPct: Integer; CurrentFile, TimeStr1, TimeStr2, TimeStr3: PAnsiChar): LongWord;
var
  CurTick: DWORD;
begin
    Memo.Lines.Add('Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile);

I thought maybe I could make a temporary string variable and comparing it with the current file and if so, skip echoing the current file, I am interested if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Idk if it works with Delphi XE 10 I guess. But my problem is the ISCmdInit doesn't support the latest version of Delphi XE because I'm using FMX.
