customizing install directory
Hi, I have too mutually exclusive options to install application. Let's say they are KEEDS and TEENS.

Here it is piece of installer script:

Section "Kids" KIDS
...
SectionEnd

Section /o "Teens" TEENS
...
SectionEnd

Function .onInit

StrCpy $1 ${KIDS} ; Kids is selected by default

FunctionEnd

Function .onSelChange
!insertmacro StartRadioButtons $1
!insertmacro RadioButton ${KIDS}
!insertmacro RadioButton ${TEENS}
!insertmacro EndRadioButtons
FunctionEnd


InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\MyProgram"

I want to set installation dir depends on choosen option either "$PROGRAMFILES\MyProgram.kids" or "$PROGRAMFILES\MyProgram.teens"

How to do that? Thanks.

Just check the value of $1 in the page's leave function:

!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE ComponentsPageLeave
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS

Function ComponentsPageLeave
  StrCmp $1 1 0 +3
    StrCpy $INSTDIR "$PROGRAMFILES\MyProgram.kids"
  Goto +2
    StrCpy $INSTDIR "$PROGRAMFILES\MyProgram.teens"
FunctionEnd

Additional but related question about Uninstall section. Let's assume code written above gives us customized name of application folder stored in $name variable. And I create shortcuts etc using that name:

CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\$name.lnk" "$INSTDIR\MyProgram.exe"

Question is how to say Uninstaller to delete correctly this shortcut.
Following code in Uninstall section doesn't work:

Delete "$DESKTOP\$name.lnk"

How to handle uninstall correctly in this case? Thanks.
