From the tutorial: If you want to change the bitmaps or icons, just do so in the Binary directory. The front page bitmap (named Dialog.bmp here) is a 503 by 314 pixel BMP while the top banner bitmap has 500 by 63 pixels. But note that Windows Installer might stretch or shrink these bitmaps if th

I'm having a problem where the bitmap I choose as the background of a WiX-UI setup is getting scaled differently on different machines. It looks fine on mine (1152x864), but badly pixellated on machines with 1280x1024. I've tried using a fairly high resolution image but it still looks bad. I've als

Re: [WiX-users] WiX and PocketPC installations

You can't use WiX. Windows Mobile uses CABs which are built with CabWiz.exe, not MSIs. You write an .inf file to tell CabWiz.exe what to do. If building only for Windows Mobile 5.0, you can use a compressed CAB and should build it with the version of CabWiz from VS2005 (typically in C:\Program File

ARPPRODUCTICON is a property and it is documented at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367593.aspx. Use a element to set the property's value. See also the Icon table (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369210.aspx) and the WiX element. If you want to use the 'default MSI icon'

Re: [WiX-users] Slightly OT: votive and ankh?

I haven't played around with Ankh to know, but other users have run into issues with this also. I really don't think it's a Votive issue, since I'm using the standard Visual Studio SCC stuff. I really think it's an Ankh issue. Of course, I could be wrong. It's probably best to log a feature request

This is slightly off-topic, but I cannot seem to get AnkhSvn (subversion provider for Visual studio) to play along nicely with a votive project. Now, I don't know if this is due to Votive or Ankh? (latest v3 WiX and latest Ankh) If anyone has had any success in combining these two, I'd appreciate

AFAIK you can't install IIS externally - it's an operating system component. It's not a Wix inconvenience that you can't install the .NET framework and SQL and so on in an MSI setup. There are a couple of reasons: 1. It's an architectural feature of Windows Installer. The main issue is that you
