Uninstall check section
I'm a new happy user of NSIS and have made some different modern installers. I have now run into trouble because I have different things that the user can choose from when installing.

Let's say the user installs 3 out of 5 components. How do I then make the uninstall section check which components the user has installed? - so the uninstall section skips the parts/components that where not installed.

(As for now my script uninstalls all components included in the uninstall section.)

You'll need to record what the user installed in an ini file or the registry for example. Then on uninstall you read that information back and set the checkboxes appropriately.

Keeping track of installed components
Ok, that sounds good :up:. Do anyone know how to make such reg infomation in the installer? - and the commandoline to put in the uninstall section to call the reg infomation?

The thing is that my english is not that good :(, so having big trouble getting/understand the infomation from the html-manual.
