    Compiler variables are fixed at compile-time, they cannot be changed at runtime. Variables that are “variable” in the installer are called “installer variables” in install4j. This is a different concept. For more on the different variable systems, see here.

    I want to change which component to install based on user selection.

    This is unrelated to compiler variables. With the API, you make a call like

    context.getInstallationComponentById("myId").setSelected(true);

    to change the selection state of an installation component.
