Hello All !

I am using IS 5.5.
I have an install script that prompts a user to select which type of setup
they want to do.
Based on that selection, I know what "Component" is was selected. However,
for every given
"component", there are several "sub-selections" or "sub-components" that can
be selected. My question is, is there any way to determine which of the
"sub-components" the user has chosen to install?

Thanks in advance,
Everett

Hello Everett,

Yes, you can determine which sub component was selected by using the
ComponentIsItemSelected function.
For example if I have a component AAA and it has a subcomponent BBB and I
would like to check if the user selected BBB, the following call would do
this:
ComponentIsItemSelected(MEDIA, "AAA\\BBB");
