License pages inside sections/functions

wu5mike · 30th July 2008, 20:45

Hi all, I'm new to NSIS and trying to make an installer that installs prerequisite apps but I also have to display the TOS for those apps and wanted to use the Page License command (as I want the apps to be otherwise silent).

However as I'm sure most of you know you can't have a Page inside a Function/Section, however I also need control flow like ${If} which I get errors about not being valid outside Functions/Sections.

I thought about calling the Page outside any Function and calling the Function afterwards but I can't use Call outside the Functions either.

How do people go about handling situations like these?

Thanks!

My suggestion would be to include all the pages you think you'll need and then use the ${If} logic inside a pre function (using !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE). If you call ABORT in the pre function, you will skip over that page.

Review the MUI docs and search the forum for examples.
