Dialog Billboard Controls

[bhatiaviresh]

I have not found a way to make HTML or Flash billboards in AI. This is available in other tools, such as InstallAware. I use both Flash and HTML extensively in my long setup, so users can learn about the product they are installing.

How can I do this with AI?

Hi,

Advanced Installer does not support HTML or Flash billboards because this feature is not supported by Windows Installer.

For a list of supported controls please see:

Hmm, so how does InstallAware do this, then? They also create Windows Installer setups AFAIK.

Hi,

Unlike Advanced Installer, InstallAware does not use the Windows Installer dialogs, it uses an external UI.
