  Hello,

${If} $showsection == true

  Section "mySection"

  .

  SectionEnd

>${EndIf} 

But i cant compile it because ${If} is not valid outside functions...

Need help

if you want this to be conditional on compilation, you can use !if. for conditions on runtime, have a look at this (or this example)

On the other hand, if you want it to be conditional upon some file/registry on the target machine, put code in the onInit function to hide the section.

To hide a section, you can change the section text to an empty string, or put a "-" in the front of the section string.

And also make sure you unselect the section as well as hide it.
