DetailPrint not working in nsDialogs page function

I have created a patch script where I have three sections but I need to run this only if the currently installed version is say '3.1'. So I have created a custom Page where I can go and check the current version - if it is indeed '3.1' I go and install the patch, otherwise I skip all sections. But DetailPrint in the page function never prints out. Can anyone suggested any other way to solve this simple problem?

Name nsDialogs
OutFile nsDialogs.exe

XPStyle on

Page custom checkInstalledVersion 
Page instfiles

Function checkInstalledVersion
     ; perform some checking to get the currently installed version
     DetailPrint "You cannot install the patch on this version."
FunctionEnd

Section

DetailPrint "hello world"

SectionEnd

Let me quote one of developers to answer your question:

DetailPrint prints to the install log window. That window is only available when the instfiles page is reached. Sections are executed when the instfiles page shows, and that's why you [only] see DetailPrint [when] used in sections.

You can use a MessageBox instead.
