MUI Help

Hello people..

I am trying to migrate to the MUI system, but I cannot find the info I need (properly because of me 🤪 )
Anyway..I would like the users to be able to (de)select weather they want to have shortcuts or not. First of I do not know how to add components to the MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS, second I cannot figure out how to make the !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU page dynamic in terms of when users deselect the option to have shortcuts, the page shoul not be shown.

If I am not clear enough about my troubles, please ask me to clarify.

Best regards 😁

Each section is a component for the user to choose from. So, to add components to the installation add new sections.

second I cannot figure out how to make the !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU page dynamic in terms of when users deselect the option to have shortcuts, the page shoul not be shown.

I think you need to use MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE - define.
Put this define before inserting a StartMenu page macro and create function. Inside this function you can check selected or deselted the option to create shortcuts, and abort page execution if deselected.

Mmmh.. I see. But I have just realized that there is an embedded option to deselect shortcuts, so no need to check on it or script it. But thank you for the help 😉

What problem?
Add Section named "Shortcuts". Inside this section create shortcuts on desktop and other places. Code like this:

....

Function "PageAbort"

  SectionGetFlags ${SecShort} $R1

  IntOp $R1 $R1 & 0x1

  IntCmp $R1 1 allok abortpage

abortpage:

  abort

allok:

FunctionEnd



....



!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE "PageAbort"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_STARTMENU Application $ICONS_GROUP



....



Section "Shortcuts" SecShort

  CreateShortCut ...

  CreateShortCut ...

SectionEnd



....

If user select section "Shortcuts" then StartMenu page will be displayed and shortcuts created. If deselect -> aborted and no shortcuts.
