Simple question about boolean operators with #ifdef

The InstallScript reference manual indicates that boolean operators work with #ifdef statements. However when I use an OR (||) operator with an #ifdef statement, my compiler only recognizes the first argument. Here's my syntax:

#ifdef FULL_RELEASE || CD_RELEASE

#endif

In this situation, the compiler only executes the code if FULL_RELEASE is defined. Am I using the right syntax?

Thanks!

I think that, like in C or C++, the InstallScript #ifdef can only take a single name. To check multiple, you'll need to nest #ifdef or #ifndef clauses.
