Hide the section group, all its children and the hidden section group end. To hide it, you'll also need to remove its SF_SECGRP flag.

thanks for the reply... but
i am sorry, but i do not understand.

i have the following layout :

SectionGroup(1)
|---SectionGroup(2)
|   |
|   |---Section(a)
|   |
|   |---SectionGroup(3)
|   |   |
|   |   |---Section(b)
|   |   |
|   |   |---Section(c)
|   |
|   |---Section(d)
|
|---SectionGroup(4)
|   |
|   |---Section(e)
|   |
|   |---Section(f)
|
|---Section(f)

i want to hide SectionGroup(2).
i tried with [SectionSetText SecGroupID ""] but had no luck. it only works for [Section].

please help,

thanks.

SectionSetText SecGroupID "" will not work because "SecGroupID" is not a valid section identifier. You must use ${SecGroupID}.

thanks for the quick reply. you really saved my life !
it works. only one problem
now it looks like this:

SectionGroup(1)

SectionGroup(4)
|
|---Section(e)
|
|---Section(f)

Section(g)

like the sectiongroup(4) and section(g) does not belong to sectiongroup(1).

and one more thing, what is [SF_SECGRP] ? i can't find it in the docs.

thanks again.

after testing it a little, it works if i move sectiongroup(2) after sectiongroup(4) and section(g).

is this normal ?

and one more question,
if i hide the sections and they are selected by default, they will get installed anyway ?
i must use [SectionSetFlags ${SecID} "0"] ?

thanks.
OJi.

SF_SECGRP is a section flag just like SF_SELECTED. See Include\Sections.nsh for its definition. That's what causing the weird section behaviour you see. That and the section group end you didn't remove.

If you hide a section and it's still selected, it will be installed.

thanks for all the help, but i am still! doing something wrong. no matter what i do it still looks like this:

SectionGroup(1)

SectionGroup(4)
|
|---Section(e)
|
|---Section(f)

Section(g)

i will post the code.

and one more problem (for forum admin/moderators)
- i changed my email adress in my account (o_owd) but i did not receive any confirmation email and i can not post! i am able to login but not post. this is going for about 2 weeks. i tried to change my email again but no luck. this is the only forum i can post - not logged on.

thanks.

You didn't remove the section group end marker. Add:

IntOp $0 ${Sec11c} + 1
!insertmacro ClearSectionFlag $0 ${SF_SECGRPEND}
SectionSetText $0 ""

As for your e-mail, the forum had some mail server problems. I have resent your activation mail. If you don't get it in the next couple of days, let me know.
