Unable to select sections without going to custom install

[davidnewcomb]

I have two sections "Install" and "Extract", and 7 sections.
"Extract" has 1 of the sections selected and this simply extracts the payload.
"Install" does a number of tests and depending on external conditions selects 1 to 6 of the sections.
I want to present the user with "Extract" or "Install". The user will not be able to change any of the sections selected.

Unfortunately, I keep running into problems. If I use SectionIn to designate which sections are assigned to an Install type, it switches to a 'Custom' Install option as soon as I change any of them. If I set the components page to use /NOCUSTOM then on loading it sets the Install component type to blank which disappears when I select another option.

I want it to appear with Install and all the required options preselected, so the user can just click next.

The example below is as close as I can get it The type of install is set to blank. When you manually set it to Install it sets the correct options, but this is an extra step which I am trying to get rid of.

!include Sections.nsh
!include MUI.nsh

OutFile c:\InstText.exe

I guess this is what you're looking for :-)

code:
!define SF_USELECTED  0

!define SF_SELECTED   1

!define SF_RO         16

Wow thanks, You have obviously put in a lot of work for this.
It took quite a long time to understand how it works so I will add an explaination for others.

The reason why my orginal showed blank in the selection list was because the selected sections did not match any of the predefined install types.

After a bit of fiddling I found SetSectionInInstType in sections.nsh and wrote 2 macros to help standardise the SectionSet stuff.

code:


!macro AssignInstallSection P_SEC

  Push $0

  IntOp $0 ${SF_SELECTED} | ${SF_RO}

  SectionSetFlags ${P_SEC} $0

  Pop $0

!macroend



!macro UnassignInstallSection P_SEC

  Push $0

  IntOp $0 ${SF_USELECTED} | ${SF_RO}

  SectionSetFlags ${P_SEC} $0

  Pop $0

!macroend



Function .onInit



!insertmacro SetSectionInInstType ${sec_install_java} 1

!insertmacro AssignInstallSection ${sec_install_java}



!insertmacro ClearSectionInInstType ${sec_install_mysql} 1

!insertmacro UnassignInstallSection ${sec_install_mysql}



!insertmacro ClearSectionInInstType ${sec_install_isa} 1

!insertmacro UnassignInstallSection ${sec_install_isa}



!insertmacro ClearSectionInInstType ${sec_config_db} 1

!insertmacro UnassignInstallSection ${sec_config_db}



!insertmacro SetSectionInInstType ${sec_config_update} 1

!insertmacro AssignInstallSection ${sec_config_update}



!insertmacro ClearSectionInInstType ${sec_config_downdate} 1

!insertmacro UnassignInstallSection ${sec_config_downdate}



!insertmacro SetSectionInInstType ${sec_extract_only} 2

Î¥ou're welcome!. Nice job from your side!
Perhaps you may want to take a look at the attached below sample. I think it is a little more pro looking :-)

[davidnewcomb]

Maybe 1 for the Wiki!

I've already posted a topic at wiki with the above sample code because here in forum after a few days is not easy to find it by someone who might need it.
