[solved] Images not not shown on dialogs

Fri Jun 26, 2015 8:33 am

Hi all,

when I place an image on a dialog it is shown in the dialog editor but not in the build installer. What did I do wrong?

Cheers, Angelo

Hello Angelo,

I'm not sure why this happens. Can you please send us the .aip (project file) and the related problematic image to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks to Daniel we now know, that the MSI-INstaller engine on Windows 7 is not able to render .png files.

BMP and JPG do work but they are rendered very ugly. A much better approach was to manipulate the background JPGs of the theme.

Cheers, Angelo
