Hi, my working code from version 5 is creating an error on version 6 that says 'semicolon (;) expected'. Can some look and help please

- my code in v5 does the following

-- creates a task called Install Visual C++.. with default unchecked

-- checks the registry key for 14.0 x64 format

-- checks the task ON if not installed

in v6 the line 'if FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\tls\server.cert.pem')) then' is coming back with the 'semicolon expected'

Looks like you're missing a semicolon on "end" just above this line.

Spend sufficient time in confirming the need and the need will disappear.

hi. thank you so much. i tried that and several variations of end; and the error goes away but the installer also fails, crashes, so I looked back into the code.

- so, maybe you can point me to a sample of what I need

- I have 'begin Result := true; if Not RegQueryDWordValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\x64', 'Major', major) then..."

- I want the task installvcruntime to, by default be checked but then uncheck it if the Reg Key DWORD is detected
