That's should be managed if you use MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION function_name and within the function show the read me depending on components selection and moreover show other read me regarding to selected components.
See MUI documentation,

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Mod...UI/Readme.html

Thanks RW, but this MUI documentation is not enough to me
Why the warning??

Part of my actual code
-------------------------------
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "$INSTDIR\$(MUIReadMe)"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TITLE_3LINES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
-------------------------------

Code with you suggest
--------------------------------
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION VerifyComponents
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_TITLE_3LINES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

Function VerifyComponents
SectionGetFlags ${Sec01} $R7
StrCmp $R7 9 vcShow
SectionGetFlags ${Sec02} $R7
StrCmp $R7 9 vcShow
Goto vcSkip

vcShow:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "$INSTDIR\$(MUIReadMe)"
vcSkip:
FunctionEnd

--------------------------------

The compiler shows me a warning
1 warning:
install function "VerifyComponents" not referenced - zeroing code (992-1002) out

Actually this isn't what I've suggested :)
I've suggested to read the manual to find out if this feature could help you.

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION VerifyComponents
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

......................................


Function VerifyComponents
SectionGetFlags ${Sec01} $R7
StrCmp $R7 9 vcShow
SectionGetFlags ${Sec02} $R7
StrCmp $R7 9 vcShow
Goto vcSkip

vcShow:
ExecShell open "$INSTDIR\readme_case_selected"
vcSkip:
ExecShell open "$INSTDIR\readme_case_NOT_selected"
FunctionEnd

As you can see this feature is useful when you want to display different read me files depending on selected components.
If you anyway want to skip the readme check box then you should add 2 finish pages 1st with readme checkbox and 2nd without, and use page's custom function pre to determine which of these 2 has to be displayed according to the selected components.
