NSIS installer components
Every NSIS installer [also uninstaller] consists from main Window and additional Dialogs.
Main Window contains Inner dialog - place-holder for installer Pages. This window is visible during whole install process.
Inner dialog is the most important part of main Window, every page's components are placed inside this dialog's area.
Also nsDialog pages [custom pages] are tied with this dialog and many third-party plug-ins use it.

Special case of dialog is MessageBox - small window with few lines of text, icon and several buttons. They can be shown anytime during installation and they can control flow of install process.
