How to detect if a certain section exists ?
I read that the error flag is set if the section doesn't exist but it doesn't seem to work for me while I'm using:
SectionGetFlags ${secid} $R0
IfErrors FinishPage
and yet it continues without going to FinishPage even when the section doesn't exist.
If the section doesn't exist, ${secid} probably doesn't exist as well. If it doesn't exist, you're checking the first section. The first section has the id of zero, which is exactly what ${secid} is trasnlated to. It's translated to zero because it contains no digits.
You probably want to use !ifdef secid.
