How do you position in image in VB INSTALLER?

[dabineri]

I would like to be able to position an image in the installer for my VB6 app so that it customizes the installation screen a little. How do you introduce and position an image (logo) so that it shows during the installation?

Thanks for any help, David Abineri

If you're using the VB setup package, you can modify the code in the VB IDE for that.

Lee, I am using the VB Installer. Can you give me a little more detail on how to do what you suggest?

Thanks for the response. David Abineri

VB has a setup1.vbp in the Wizards/PDWizard/Setup1 folder where ever VB is installed. Open that project in the IDE to see the setup program and all the forms it uses. Modify what you want from there. There are instructions on the Setup1.frm form on how to modify the setup program, as well.

FYI,

I use to use the setup1 that came with VB6 but now that I use the Visual Studio Installer, I would not go back. I cannot remember where on Microsofts site that I got it but it was free. It is GUI driven and user friendly once you get the hang of it. You can customize the registry, folder structure, and use a customer agreement page.



Thank you for all your help

Tom, Thanks for the response. I am using the Visual Studio Installer and I still am having trouble knowing how to set the details of what they call the BANNER BITMAP. I can set the bitmap to my logo BUT how do you position it and size it so that it fits nicely in the banner section of the installer window?

Thanks for any help, David Abineri
