  • a
  • b
  • c
  • d
  • e
  • f

I would like call the function installDll once time if at least one of sections { a, b, c, d} is selected.

Solution

  • You could call your function from each concerned section and use a variable as a flag to know if the function has already been called:

    !include "LogicLib.nsh"    ;used for ${if} constructs

Section "A"
    Call installDll
SectionEnd

Section "B"
    Call installDll
SectionEnd

Section "C"
    Call installDll
SectionEnd

Section "D"
    Call installDll
SectionEnd

Section "Other"
    ;... do not call the function
SectionEnd

Var instFlag
Function installDll

    ${ifThen} $instFlag = 1 ${|} goto skip ${|}
    StrCpy $instFlag 1

    ;... the rest of your function

    ;the following label is the last statement of the function
    skip:
EndFunction
