Multi OptionalComponents

Excuse me. I have searched the forum but cannot find answer. So I post here.
It seems installer.ini only support one OptionalComponent.

[OptionalComponents]
OptionalComponents=true
OptionalSectionTitle=XXX

Is it possible add more Optional Components without modifying the .nsi file?
Like: OptionalSectionTitle2=XXX OptionalSectionTitle3=XXX ,etc...
Thanks!

No

It doesn't. Note that the optional component is primarily for dealing with multilingual files so that a smaller installation can be made for users who only want English. Currently the only exceptions are BPBible, where it is used for some resources, and fre:ac and CDEx, where it is used for including LAME.

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi. English speaking users

Hi.
English speaking users only want English. Non-English speaking users may only want their language. So maybe it's necessary to add multi optional components support in the future?

As portableapps.com installer handle some user defines as loop (For example, PreserveDirectory[1-10]). Maybe it's possible to support OptionalSectionTitle[1-10] in the future?

Sorry about my English. I hope you understand what I said. Biggrin

Not planned

It's not planned at all at present. The savings are rarely significant, anyway.
