I was able to customize my installer based on Qt Installer Framework to some degree.

I was able to automate button click to advance to next page

gui.clickButton(buttons.NextButton)

hide the back button (by removing previous pages) and even disable the next button

Controller.prototype.DynamicMyPageCallback = function()
{
    var currentWidget = gui.currentPageWidget();
    if (currentWidget != null)
    {
        currentWidget.complete = false
    }
}

Next thing I would like to do is to remove the bottom panel which contains Next and Quit buttons. Is that possible?

You can use the code below in the constructor of the class to delete the buttons. If you would like something else to be triggered when the user presses, take a look at the docs.

ui->buttonBox->clear();

In the C++ world every QWidget provides access to its children.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#children

You can shotgun blast via QObjectList *widgetList = findChildren();

step through in debugger to see what each child is

You are looking for a buttonGroup or buttonBox. Once you have a pointer to it you can simply ->hide()

You can remove some of the mystery if you create a QPoint() object known to be within the "panel at the bottom" but not in a button.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.14/qwidget.html#childAt-1

Qt is OpenSource. You can pull down the code

https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/

Find the source file that constructs the page you want, and look at its constructor. That will tell you what button box/group is and if it got a name.

Most likely there is something simple like buttons.hide or buttons.visible = false

I don't use QML or JavaScript

I ass-u-me your "buttons" are coming from a ButtonGroup https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-buttongroup.html

So you just need to find the ID assigned your ButtonGroup on that page and buttonGroupId.visible = false

If you want real help you have to post a link to complete code that compiles and runs. You also need to indicate what platform you are on.

Edit after doing some more digging:

You still need to post full code via some zip file or something, but here is the documentation trail.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-buttongroup.html#buttons-prop

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-abstractbutton.html

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-abstractbutton-members.html

When you track it all the way back to AbstractButton you come to what should be good enough for you.

parent : Item

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-item.html#parent-prop

If buttons.NextButton.parent != null then you can buttons.NextButton.parent.visible = false
