Go over all files in section
Is there a way to go over all of the files that are located in a section by using the section ID?

I want to create a function that receives a list of section names and for each file in each section accordingly to its extension I will decide to register it in a specific place in the registry.

Is it possibly?


As far as I understand things, no, it isn't. Because NSIS interprets its script line-for-line, there's no way for NSIS to know which files have been / will be installed and which have not / will not. You will have to maintain your own list of files, and use that.

But... Why don't you just register a file the moment you install it? That way you don't have to worry about keeping logs / lists.
