How to selectively show file extractions
Hi!

I have an installation that needs to have some of the files not visible as being extracted. I do however want the user to see the files that are relevant to their installation. Here's the scenario:

File "foo.exe"
File "bar.exe"
WriteUninstaller "theUninstaller.exe"

Now, I want the user to see that foo.exe was extracted and that theUninstaller.exe was created, but I don't want them to see that bar.exe was extracted. bar.exe is a helper in the installation, not part of the product, so, I don't want to confuse the issue by having it displayed as being extracted and then not being there after installation.

Any ideas? SetSilent won't work because it stays in effect for the whole of the installation. CopyFiles doesn't work either.

TIA,
Dave S.


File "foo.exe"
SetDetailsPrint none
File "bar.exe"
SetDetailsPrint both
WriteUninstaller "theUninstaller.exe"
