Section skipped:
I am getting "Section skipped:" in my script. I have a very large installer, which I copied from another place long ago, and is mostly hands-free. I have a SubSection for shortcuts which contains 4 Sections, and only the last one gets executed, the rest say "Section skipped:" in the logfile.

This section used to work, long ago. I changed the SubSection to SectionGroup, and the behavior is the same.

Any ideas? These sections are not really displayed, and I tried moving the functionality to the end of the previous group and removing the SectionGroup, and then nothing works. The installer just says completed, and I don't even get an install.log file.
