As the title suggests I'm looking to create radio buttons to choose the installation path, one for Steam, one for Epic Games, and a custom path box so the user can decide where to install. Selecting the Steam or Epic would install directly to the default path for those game directories, while choosing the Custom option would allow the user to enter the file path in a path box.

The following code adds three radio buttons to "Select Destination Location" page. They serve as presets to installation location.

On first installation, it detects what folders exist and defaults to the first existing folder. On upgrade, it detects from the previous install path, what preset was selected (I'm aware that you won't use it due to UsePreviousDir=no, but I wanted to post complete solution, in case others want that).

[Setup]
DefaultDirName={code:GetDefaultDirName}
DisableDirPage=no

[Code]

const 
  NoDirName = 'C:\nodirname';

function SteamDirName: string;
begin
  Result := 'D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dead by Daylight'
end;

function EpicDirName: string;
begin
  Result := ExpandConstant('{commonpf64}\Epic Games\Dead by Daylight');
end;

function GetDefaultDirName(Param: string): string;
begin
  // If Steam folder exists, defaulting to Steam
  if DirExists(SteamDirName) then Result := SteamDirName
    else
  // else if Epic folder exists, defaulting to Epic
  if DirExists(EpicDirName) then Result := EpicDirName
  // Otherwise defaulting to an empty custom path,
  // but as DefaultDirName cannot be empty, using placeholder here,
  // which gets cleared later in InitializeWizard
    else Result := NoDirName; 
end;

var
  SteamButton: TNewRadioButton;
  EpicButton: TNewRadioButton;
  CustomButton: TNewRadioButton;

procedure DirButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // This might be improved to remember the custom path and
  // restore it when CustomButton is checked

  if SteamButton.Checked then
    WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := SteamDirName
  else if EpicButton.Checked then
    WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := EpicDirName;
  WizardForm.DirEdit.Enabled := CustomButton.Checked;
  WizardForm.DirBrowseButton.Enabled := WizardForm.DirEdit.Enabled;
end;

function CreateButton(var Top: Integer): TNewRadioButton;
begin
  Result := TNewRadioButton.Create(WizardForm);
  Result.Parent := WizardForm.DirEdit.Parent;
  Result.Top := Top;
  Result.Left := WizardForm.SelectDirBrowseLabel.Left;
  Result.Width := Result.Parent.ClientWidth - Result.Left;
  Result.OnClick := @DirButtonClick;
  Top := Result.Top + Result.Height + ScaleY(8);
end;

procedure InitializeWizard();
var
  Top: Integer;
  Dir: string;
begin
  WizardForm.SelectDirBrowseLabel.Visible := False;
  WizardForm.SelectDirLabel.Caption := 'Select where you want to install to.';

  Top := WizardForm.SelectDirBrowseLabel.Top;
  SteamButton := CreateButton(Top);
  SteamButton.Caption := '&Steam';
  SteamButton.Enabled := DirExists(SteamDirName);

  EpicButton := CreateButton(Top);
  EpicButton.Caption := '&Epic Games';
  EpicButton.Enabled := DirExists(EpicDirName);

  CustomButton := CreateButton(Top);
  CustomButton.Caption := '&Custom path:';

  WizardForm.DirBrowseButton.Top :=
    WizardForm.DirBrowseButton.Top + (Top - WizardForm.DirEdit.Top);
  WizardForm.DirEdit.Top := Top;
  WizardForm.DirEdit.TabOrder := CustomButton.TabOrder + 1;
  WizardForm.DirBrowseButton.TabOrder := WizardForm.DirEdit.TabOrder + 1;

  // for fresh install, when neither Steam nor Epic was found,
  // clear the installation path placeholder,
  // to force user to select some sensible value
  // (see also the comment in GetDefaultDirName)
  if CompareText(WizardForm.DirEdit.Text, NoDirName) = 0 then
  begin
    WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := '';
  end;

  Dir := WizardForm.DirEdit.Text;
  // Defaulting to Steam
  // (either because Steam was found or previously installed to Steam)
  if CompareText(Dir, SteamDirName) = 0 then
    SteamButton.Checked := True
  // Defaulting to Epic
  // (either because Epic was found or previously installed to Epic)
  else if CompareText(Dir, EpicDirName) = 0 then
    EpicButton.Checked := True
  // Defaulting to Custom (either because neither Steam nor Epic was found or
  // previously installed to neither Steam nor Epic)
  else
    CustomButton.Checked := True;

  DirButtonClick(nil);
end;
