#if. . .#else. . .#endif

InstallShield 2023 » InstallScript Language Reference

Use the #if statement to select which lines to compile. You can switch various sections of the installation on and off, making the script more flexible. The #if statement works in the same manner as the run-time if statement:

#if (A = 1)

    // compile if A equals 1

    . . .

#else

    // compile

    . . .

#endif

Keep in mind the following restrictions when using #if:

•

Note that the format of the #if statement is also identical to that of the run-time if statement; you must end the #if statement with the keyword #endif.

•

You can test only numeric constants with an #if or #elif statement.

•

InstallScript allows nesting of #if statements up to a maximum of 10 levels.
