Sections
Sorry, but I can't understand how I can do this.
I want write Half-Life installer.
I have sections:
HL - always installed
CSTRIKE - may be installed or not
NiceBot - install if CSTRIKE selected
ZBot - install of CSTRIKE selected.
NiceBot and ZBot must be radio button, because they can't be installed together.

No need the raio buttons, NSIS uses checkboxes, well... you can make your own custom page with InstallOptions.

I recommend that you read the example one-section.nsi

It's not as simple to just 'write the code'.
You need to create a custom InstallOptions dialogue with radio-buttons.

See NSIS\Contrib\InstallOptions

How more easy can be just doing this:

Section "Hello"
;
SectionEnd

Section "Hola"
;
SectionEnd

InstallOptionsEx might be able to do this (if it can't then it would be nice if it could!)

As far as I know (or remember) for normal InstallOptions, you can't have selecting one checkbox unselect another.

Well in that case, unless deguix plans on changing IOEx to support live dialogue manipulation then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do except do it the old fassioned way.

This part of InstallOptions is already very well planned by kichik and eccles (and others who contributed). Most parts of InstallOptions are preserved or expended in InstallOptionsEx. But yes, new things arrived to the plugin. One of the things expanded is the NOTIFY flag which is enough to your objective in this case.

The NOTIFY flag makes a control to return its value to the INI file, and to return the focus to the script code.

To make a selection of a checkbox, you can send BM_SETCHECK message to the checkbox to be selected/deselected.

To know more about the NOTIFY flag, see InstallOptions or InstallOptionEx readme.

Where I must send message? In which function or other?

Lobo Lunar suggested earlier in this thread that one-section.nsi could be adapted to suit KirillKr's requirements.

Here are two variants based upon one-section.nsi:

CSdemo-A.nsi supports three options:

(1) Install HL
(2) Install HL + CSTRIKE + NiceBot
(3) Install HL + CSTRIKE + ZBot

CSdemo-B.nsi supports four options:

(1) Install HL
(2) Install HL + CSTRIKE
(3) Install HL + CSTRIKE + NiceBot
(4) Install HL + CSTRIKE + ZBot

If he still wants the InstallOptions way, here is a code example totally tested by me:

Page custom ShowFunction LeaveFunction

!define BM_GETCHECK 0x00F0
!define BM_SETCHECK 0x00F1

!define BST_UNCHECKED 0
!define BST_CHECKED 1

Var hwnd
Var Result
Var notifySel

Function ShowFunction

  InstallOptions::initDialog /NOUNLOAD ".\test.ini"
  Pop $hwnd
  InstallOptions::show 
  Pop $Result

FunctionEnd

Function LeaveFunction

  ReadINIStr $notifySel ".\test.ini" "Settings" "State"

  StrCmp $notifySel 0 Validate  ; Next button
  StrCmp $notifySel 4 Start4  ; Field 4
  Abort ; Return to the page

  Start4:

    GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1203
    SendMessage $0 ${BM_GETCHECK} "" "" $1

    StrCmp $1 ${BST_CHECKED} 0 EndChecked

      GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1201
      EnableWindow $0 1

      GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1204
      EnableWindow $0 1
      SendMessage $0 ${BM_GETCHECK} "" "" $1

      GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1205
      EnableWindow $0 1
      SendMessage $0 ${BM_GETCHECK} "" "" $2

      StrCmp $1 ${BST_UNCHECKED} 0 EndCheckIfEmpty
        StrCmp $2 ${BST_UNCHECKED} 0 EndCheckIfEmpty
        
          GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1204
          SendMessage $0 ${BM_SETCHECK} ${BST_CHECKED} ""
        
      EndCheckIfEmpty:

    Goto EndNotChecked

    EndChecked:
    
    GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1201
    EnableWindow $0 0

    GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1204
    EnableWindow $0 0

    GetDlgItem $0 $hwnd 1205
    EnableWindow $0 0
    
    EndNotChecked:

    Abort

  Validate:

FunctionEnd


(But as you know, you have to change somethings to be compatible with your script)
