We are working on converting the wiki to a static website controlled by markdown files in https://github.com/nsis-community. You can already see there how plug-ins will be posted. The end-user interface will still be a website but with a fresh coat of paint. Come meet us at Discord to talk about it.
Graying out Section (define mandatory sections)
| Author: ssp (talk, contrib) |
Description
When creating my first installer recently I wondered if it was possible to define section mandatory, so that the user can not unselect them (e.g. needed components as shared libraries).
So I stumbled across SectionSetFlags
Procedure
Just add
SectionSetFlags ${SEC0000} 17
to
Function .onInit.
17 by the way means SF_SELECTED & SF_RO, what tells windows select the checkbox before Section SEC0000 and make it read-only. To get to know all possible SF_ flags, look at the given reference.

Other methods
It's also possible to simply include the following in the section code:
