Hiding components and tasks depending on setup type

[Ethin Probst]

Hi all,

I'm re-learning InnoSetup and would like to do some rather unusual things, but I'm not very skilled with pascal and InnoSetup's classes so am struggling to figure out how to (1) hide the components list if a certain setup type is selected and (2) hide the tasks page if that setup type is selected. I've seen some other installers do this so I wanted to see if I could emulate it. What is the typical way of doing this? I tried searching around but it doesn't look like anyone else has wanted to do this (which is odd to me but eh).

You can do this by using the ShouldSkipPage event function. See the Event Functions[1] help topic.

Does this work for hiding parts of a page depending on another selection in that page? My idea for that is to hide the components list if the "full" setup type is selected, but I'm uncertain what the best way to go about that is.

 My recommendation is to read through the documentation and look at the example .iss scripts provided in the installation.

I missed this, my bad. Thanks for pointing me to it.
