How to have the user select what type of install?

I have an application that has client and server components to it. I want the user to be able to choose which one to install and depending on what they choose, different actions will be taken. i.e. Install different files, call other apps, etc. I have an nsis script working that will install the server components, but I need to add a choice and a way to only install certain things. Any help would be great or at least point me to an example that does something like this.

Here is my current script:

;--------------------------------

;Includes



  !include "MUI2.nsh"

  !include "InstallOptions.nsh"

  !include "fileassoc.nsh"

  !include "LogicLib.nsh"

  !include "x64.nsh"



;--------------------------------

;General



  ;Name and file

  Name "Open Source Automation"

  OutFile "OSA Setup v0.3.2.exe"



  ;Default installation folder

  InstallDir "C:\OSA"

Use InstType with /NOCUSTOM flag.

Make two InstTypes, e.g. "Server" and "Client", and then use SectionIn to assign your sections accordingly.

For details look at the scripting reference manual 🙂
