Create desktop shortcuts depending on sel. sections
Hi,

I'm not sure how to enable to create some desktop shortcuts depending on the selected install options.

e.g.: three install options are givin: a,b,c

user selects a and c, so only shortcuts for those sections should be created on the desktop.

any hints ?

thx in advance.

Use CreateShortcut in the Section.

You have three options:
1) Create the shortcuts in the section itself
2) Check if the file installed in a section exists and create the shortcut according to it just like in makensis.nsi
3) Use SectionGetFlags to check if the section is selected

Of course ! shame on me.

Seems to be one of those days were you need a really huge cup of coffee before you should ask questions ! ;)

Thx to all.
