== How It Works ==
On initialization it restores components installed flags (if present) from registry and sets components status (checked / not checked) on the components page. If installed flag not found then the component status stays default settings (new installation).
At the end of installation it removes unchecked components using special Remove_... macro you add after each component section.
Note: Remove_... macros must not produce errors even if component does not actually installed.
Uninstaller still removes all of your software w/o an option. But now you can use Remove_... macros to remove optional components. So uninstall code becomes more simple and flexible.

The Script

This example creates a folder on Window desktop with subfolders "Component One", "Component Two", etc. according to changes you made on the components page.

Compile this example and run it for multiple times each time changing options on the components page to see the results.

Please mail me to ts2001@hotbox.ru if you know how to improve this.

How to use this in your installer:

  1. Copy and paste Add/Remove system macros to the beginning of your script or to include file.
  2. Copy and paste Add/Remove callback functions right before uninstall section. Ensure you specified section index output constants in Section commands for each optional section.
  3. List your optional sections in the SectionList macro. Use following format for each section (replace section_index with the constant name you specified in Section command):
     !insertmacro "${MacroName}" "section_index"
  4. Write Remove_${section_index} macro after each optional section. This macro must describe section deletion.

Here is code of example installer implementing add/remove functionality: 

;--- Add/Remove system macros: ---
; (You may place them to include file)
Var AR_SecFlags
Var AR_RegFlags
 
!macro InitSection SecName
  ;  This macro reads component installed flag from the registry and
  ;changes checked state of the section on the components page.
  ;Input: section index constant name specified in Section command.
 
  ClearErrors
  ;Reading component status from registry
  ReadRegDWORD $AR_RegFlags HKLM \
    "${REG_UNINSTALL}\Components\${SecName}" "Installed"
  IfErrors "default_${SecName}"
    ;Status will stay default if registry value not found
    ;(component was never installed)
  IntOp $AR_RegFlags $AR_RegFlags & 0x0001  ;Turn off all other bits
  SectionGetFlags ${${SecName}} $AR_SecFlags  ;Reading default section flags
  IntOp $AR_SecFlags $AR_SecFlags & 0xFFFE  ;Turn lowest (enabled) bit off
  IntOp $AR_SecFlags $AR_RegFlags | $AR_SecFlags      ;Change lowest bit
 
  ;Writing modified flags
  SectionSetFlags ${${SecName}} $AR_SecFlags
 
 "default_${SecName}:"
!macroend
 
!macro FinishSection SecName
  ;  This macro reads section flag set by user and removes the section
  ;if it is not selected.
  ;Then it writes component installed flag to registry
  ;Input: section index constant name specified in Section command.
 
  SectionGetFlags ${${SecName}} $AR_SecFlags  ;Reading section flags
  ;Checking lowest bit:
  IntOp $AR_SecFlags $AR_SecFlags & 0x0001
  IntCmp $AR_SecFlags 1 "leave_${SecName}"
    ;Section is not selected:
    ;Calling Section uninstall macro and writing zero installed flag
    !insertmacro "Remove_${${SecName}}"
    WriteRegDWORD HKLM "${REG_UNINSTALL}\Components\${SecName}" \
