Custom Page Status of RadioButtons

Hello,
I´ve started working with NSIS yesterday and I now have a problem. I hope you can help me. I think it´s just a little problem for you.
Okay, I´ve created a custom page on which are two radiobuttons:
1 --> user start the program on cd and the setup should close (exec, abort?)
2 --> setup continues and install the program

LangString TEXT_IO_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Install and Play Options Page "
LangString TEXT_IO_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "A subtitle"
Page custom OwnPage ValidateCustom
Function OwnPage ;FunctionName defined with Page command
  !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(TEXT_IO_TITLE)" "$(TEXT_IO_SUBTITLE)"
  # display page
  !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "test.ini"
  # Get the user entered values.
   !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Play "test.ini" "Field 4" "State"
   !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Install "fridolin.ini" "Field 5" "State"
FunctionEnd
Function ValidateCustom
    ReadINIStr $Play "test.ini" "Field 4" "State"
    ReadINIStr $Play "test.ini" "Field 5" "State"
        
        
FunctionEnd
Now I don´t know how I can check which one is checked. Is it ok to do this with ReadINIStr? And how can I now define what happens.

Thank you so much. Kadijsha

1. Read the values in the Leave function only (ValidateCustom).
2. Use MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ not ReadINIStr.

OK. I´ll do it like this. But how can I make an if/else to check which one is checked and to perform both actions? Can you help me?

!include LogicLib.nsh

#...

${If} $Play == 1

  # do something...

${Else}

  # do something else...

${EndIf}

Thank you very much for your post. I didn´t find anything before.
I´ve done this and now I get the following error:



Function: "OwnPage"
!insertmacro: MUI_HEADER_TEXT
!insertmacro: end of MUI_HEADER_TEXT
!insertmacro: MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY
!insertmacro: end of MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY
FunctionEnd
Function: "ValidateCustom"
!insertmacro: MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ
Usage: ReadINIStr $(user_var: output) ini_file section entry_name
Error in macro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ on macroline 5
Error in script "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\Desktop\installer2\fridolin\fridolin\fridolin.nsi" on line 68 -- aborting creation process
I did it like this.

Function ValidateCustom
        !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Play "test.ini" "Field 4" "State"
        !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $Install "test.ini" "Field 5" "State"
        ${If} $Play == 1
        # do something... 
        Exec "$INSTDIR\test.exe"
        Quit
        ;${Else}
        
        # do something else...
        ${EndIf}
        
FunctionEnd

I thought that the variables will be defined by this. Do I have to define the variables at the beginning of the nsi-file?

In this way: var play, var install?

I will try it. Thanks

You are right, now it works. Thank you very much ;-))

But I have another question:

I create a shortcut in the startmenu and on the desktop. How can I create this in the startmenu of AllUsers not only in the startmenu of the current user? I´ve tried to find something about this in the manual and in the internet.
