SelectSection doesn't work

i'm using the SelectSection macro from the "Sections.nsh" header included with NSIS to manually select/unselect sections (using a custom InstallOptions page instead of the Components page) but it doesn't work. This is the code I use:

ReadINIStr $R0 "$PLUGINSDIR\demo_select.ini" "Field 2" "State"

StrCmp $R0 "1" xcomdemo check

xcomdemo: !insertmacro SelectSection XcomDemoSec

check:

ReadINIStr $R0 "$PLUGINSDIR\demo_select.ini" "Field 3" "State"

StrCmp $R0 "1" tftddemo end

tftddemo: !insertmacro SelectSection TFTDDemoSec

end:

So... what am I doing wrong?

You can't put different commands on the same line. So split up the labels from !insertmacro SelectSection.

i've always done it without problems.
and... it still doesn't work 🙁

have you included Sections.nsh ?

Deguix, a label and a command can be on the same line.

There are two problems I see. First, Sections.nsh macros can not control InstallOptions pages. Second, XcomDemoSec is the define name, use ${XcomDemoSec}.

I said that because I never used it, and that lately I'm not using NSIS as often as before.

First, it's the InstallOptions page that controls the macros. Second, thanks, it works now 🙂
