Question

I want to build a NSIS-script, which has three section

• section Main
• section Minor
• section Shared

Shared is invisible and would be installed, if Main or Minor is checked. If I start the installer, every section (Main, Minor) is checked.

Now it should be able to define the section (in silent install). What have I to change, to only install Main or Minor or Both?
