condition sections based on target machine
  Is it possible to display or omit a particular section based on the target environment? I'd like to diplay a component only if the user has a certain environmental variable and that variable is a directory.

Thanks.

Yes, set it's name to an empty string ("") using SectionSetText. For example:

Section "Only on XP" XPSection

  # ....

>SectionEnd


>Function .onInit

  # get OS into $0

 StrCmp $0 "XP" +3

    SectionSetText${XPSection} ""

   SectionSetFlags ${XPSection} 0 # unselect section

>FunctionEnd

Thanks for the reply, the short version is that it worked.

The long version involves me spending hours and hours to get it to do so, finally realizing that functions must follow sections. ;)
