Uninstaller help need
Hi,

I've developed an installer for one of my friends that contain 2 components. The installer is working fine but I have problems with uninstaller. I need help to make the installer to allow users to uninstall only one or both components.

I've tried to do this with Section/SubSection but it seems that this approch is working only for installer.

How can I do the uninstaller ?

Thanks,
Gabi:confused:

If you are using the latest version (NSIS 2 beta 4), add an uninstaller component pages and create uninstaller sections (name should start with un.).

In NSIS 2.0 b4 you can use Section/SectionEnd for the uninstaller too. Simply prefix the section name with `un.' to let NSIS know you want it to be an uninstaller section.

Thanks for the answer.
Can you give me an example ?

I've tryied :
Section unSection
...
SectionEnd
Section unSection1
SectionEnd
But this is executed during the install time.

I'm sorry, I've just started to use NSIS.

Thanks a lot for your help

Add an uninstaller components page (using a Page command or Modern UI macro).
