Show a second Install Directory page conditionally
Hi,

I need some help: I would like to display a second Install Directory page only if a section is selected.

I'm able to display an InstallOptions dialog only if a section has been selected. I'm also able to show a second Install Directory page whenever. But I don't know how to mix the both :D.

Some detailed code would be nice, because I'm a beginner.

Thank you :up:

I use this to skip the components page when desired:


Page Directory

Page Components NoComp

Page InstFiles


>Function NoComp

  ClearErrors

  ReadRegStr $R6 HKLM "Software\NAME" "SKIP"

 IfErrors "Cont"

  Abort

  Cont:

>FunctionEnd 

>

In fact, I read this in NSIS Documentation.

I am pretty sure you can tweak it to meet your requirements. If not, try reading the documentation, or posting again (attaching script preferably).

That's ok, my problem is resolved. In fact, I thought the function "Abort" would stop the installer, and not skip a page. So the solution is to always skip the second directory page (with "Abort"), and show it only if the good section has been selected.

Thank you ;)

yes, I asked the same.

'Abort' stops installer in a section, but in this function skips the page.
