Not install portions of a section?
Is there a way to not install portions of a section if another section isn't selected?

For example I have 4 sections

1) core files
2) optional exe
2.1) desktop shortcut (for exe)
3) start menu (for url, uninst, exe)
4) quick launch (for exe)

Is there a way that if section 2 is unselected to remove the optional exe shortcuts from within section 3 and 4?Since those sections are doing other things, I don't want to SubSection them with 2.

Apologies if I sound confused. I think I need an if statement or something?

Thanks for the help

Use SectionGetFlags to check in the shortcut sections if the second section is selected

Thanks. I'm reading the FM, and it's confusing me more. Do I remove the CreateShortCut from the Section and add it to a function?

No, just use SectionGetFlags to check whether or not the optional exe was selected. Then depending on that, create the shortcuts or not.
