SectionGetFlags
  hello,

i have the following structure in my installer :

SectionGroup/e "!AA"

>Section "01" Sec01

Section"02" Sec02

Section"03" Sec03

SectionGroupEnd


SectionGroup/e "!BB"

>Section "04" Sec04

Section"05" Sec05

Section"05" Sec06

SectionGroupEnd


SectionGroup/e "!CC"

>Section "07" Sec07

SectionGroupEnd


SectionGroup/e "!DD"

>Section "08" Sec08

SectionGroupEnd


Section"!09" Sec09 

>

then, i use this :

    SectionGetFlags ${Sec01} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec02} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec03} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec04} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec05} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec06} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec07} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec08} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0"


>SectionGetFlags ${Sec09} $0

    WriteRegStr HKLM "reg_path" "key" "$0" 

if sections 1-8 are selected $0 is "1"
if sections 1-8 are not selected $0 is "0"

if section 9 is selected $0 is "9"
if section 9 is not selected $0 is "8"

why section 9 does not return "0" or "1" ? what am i doing wrong ?

thanks,
OJi.

Section flags store more than just 0 or 1 (selected or unselected).
Before writing the value to the registry, you need to do the following with it:

IntOp $0 $0 & ${SF_SELECTED}
$0 will not be 1 or 0.

You also need !include Sections.nsh in your script.

i know that section flags store more than 0 or 1. i checked sections.nsh.
but why it does not work only for the last section ? i am trying to understand why, not just modify my script.
and what does your line do ? i checked the user manual but its chinese to me :).

thanks,

It checks if the ${SF_SELECTED} flag is set in the section flags.
