How to read regvalue ant to set sections parametrs, based on it
If I install over previous version - I want to make one section readonly (or invisible).
If it's clean install - user can check/unckeck this section.

So I think, that it is possible to read some registry value: if it presents - the section becomes readonly (or invisible). If not - this section looks like others.

But I don't now, how to do this. For example:

Section "some_name" Sec01
...some_commands
ReadRegDWORD $R3 ${PRODUCT_UNINST_ROOT_KEY} "${PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY}" "somevalue"
StrCmp $R3 "1" yes no
yes:
StrCpy $R4 "-blablabla"
goto q
no:
StrCpy $R4 "blablabla"
q:
SectionEnd

Section /o $R4 SEC02
...
some_commands
SectionEnd

But it doesn't work. Checkbox always visible, and section name invisible.

Use SectionSetText.
Or you can use the Section macro's in Sections.nsh if you need them.

Maybe it's not difficult but I can't understand how to apply SectionSetText to section.
When I use
Section /o "Name" SEC02
SectionSetText "SEC02" "" ("" - to make section invisible)
some_commands
SectionEnd
nothing hapens. Maybe it's because of Modern UI?

SectionSetText ${SEC02} ...

Nothing again. When I put SectionSetText ${SEC02} "" in .onInit it shows "unknown variable/constant "{SEC02}" detected, ignoring" and section SEC01 is invisible (but not SEC02).
Another interesting thing: when I write
Section "" SEC02 - it's invisible
but when I write
Function .onInit
StrCpy $0 ""
...
FunctionEnd
Section "$0" SEC02 - checkbox always visible

Here is my script http://www.046*****~komarov/script.zip How to make section SEC02 invisible (to read regkey, if it is =1 then invisible, if it's not present - then visible).

Ìîæåò ïî-ðóññêè íàïèñàòü? :) My English is terrible. :D

Try to insert .onInit-function after sections declaration.

Maybe this example helps you.

ClearErrors
ReadRegStr $0 HKLM "Your Software" "your key"
IfErrors hide 0
strcmp $0 1 hide good
hide:
SectionSetText ${SEC02} ""
; ... another action when hide section
good:

To others: I moved Function .onInit after all sections, and this one works:

Section "name" SEC01
...some commands
SectionEnd
Section "Name2" SEC02
...some commands
SectionEnd
Function on.Init
...some commands
ReadRegDword $9 ${PRODUCT_UNINST_ROOT_KEY} "${PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY}" "NoModify"
StrCmp $9 "1" not_visible visible
not_visible:
SectionSetText ${SEC02} ""
visible:
FunctionEnd

Thanks to all. :)

Dkom asked - How onInit placement influences istallation-programm work. I think the problem is in section placement but not in .onInit function placement. As at sections description the announcement and giving of a section_index_ouput is made. Therefore at compilation of the project all over again it is necessary to define these variables (section_index_ouputis) and then use them.

Am I right? (old Users).

Sorry my English.
