Option to only extract some files
Hi,

I currently use InnoSetup to build the installation of my software. But I have a new situation that Inno can't handle, so I was searching for another program.

I need to ask a option to the user (like a component selection): one option make a normal install and the other option just decompress some files to a selected dir (without installing to add/remove programs).

Can I archieve this with NSIS?

Thanks.

Yes. NSIS does not automatically create Add/Remove Program entries for you so you can create a script that does what you want.

Thanks pengyou, but is possible to change the "add/remove programs" entry in install time? Like, one option create the entry and other don't.

Thanks.

of course it is possible, the easy way is just to put the add/remove registry code in a separate section and let the user choose on the components page
