Stupid Doubts with Sections
I have a stupid doubt(wierd problem or my understanding is wrong) I have this piece of code


Section "Desktop Wallpaper" SEC03

CopyFiles "$INSTDIR\wallpaper.bmp" "$WINDIR\Web\Wallpaper"

WriteRegStr HKCU "Control Panel\Desktop" "WallpaperStyle" "2"
WriteRegStr HKCU "Control Panel\Desktop" "Wallpaper" "$INSTDIR\wallpaper.bmp"

WriteRegStr HKCU ".DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" "WallpaperStyle" "2"
WriteRegStr HKCU ".DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" "Wallpaper" "$INSTDIR\wallpaper.bmp"

SectionEnd

Even though i do not select this section in components page it still gets executed. Does anybody have any idea regarding this problem?

Does this happen with the basic example below?

OutFile "test.exe"
InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\test"
ShowInstDetails show

Page Components
Page Directory
Page InstFiles

Section "Section One" SEC01
  DetailPrint "Hello from section One"
SectionEnd

Section "Section Two" SEC02
  DetailPrint "Hello from section Two"
SectionEnd

Section "Section Three" SEC03
  DetailPrint "Hello from section Three"
SectionEnd

Nope the example works fine.

Then I guess you should check out your entire script to catch the bug.

Ok i guess i have found the problem. I have done a dumb mistake elsewhere in the script like this one

IntOp $3 $3 | ${SF_SELECTED}
SectionSetFlags ${SEC03} $3


Sorry for all the trouble.
