NSIS Scripting Condidtional Section / SectionGroup

votes

Apparently, I can't find any help on this. I have a scenario where I want to check if the user has a certain version of the .NET Framework installed on his or her machine. If not, I want to display a mandetory section inside a section-group that let's the user know that a particular version of the .NET Framework is a prerequisite and it will be installed prior to installing the application. How can I go about doing something like this?

Thanks!

You can find information about finding the installed version of .NET on this blog and by searching the nsis wiki
