Design your dialogs to work at both 96dpi and 120dpi. Windows Installer scales your dialog design to work at whatever resolution the user has selected - the resulting pixel size is the 96dpi size multiplied by the user's resolution, all divided by 96. However, the font widths and spacings are slightly different at different sizes (mainly to get readable/consistent character shapes at small pixel sizes) so you can get slightly different results.

Is it possible to have a fixed font size for text within the installer windows that are not clobbered by the user's font settings? I already specify a font size, but certain user settings make the text get truncated. <Control Id="BannerText" Type="Text" X="9" Y="9" Width="275" Height="33" Transparent="yes"> <Text><![CDATA[{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif16.0_1_0}Set the default value. This can also be changed from within the program.]]></Text> </Control> Thanks, Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
