If I had to guess, it would happen on your machine as well if you renamed the image after compiling. I don't think you want an absolute path, but rather a relative one. Then use a Payload element under the BootstrapperApplicationRef and have Burn compress the image into the bundle.

I'm changing the theme a bit to get rid of the license screen and checkbox, and I was hoping to change the icon image in the top left. So, in my build directory, I added mytheme.xml, which is basically just the stock burn XML, but with the Richedit and first Checkbox commented out. I then changed the first <Image> element to be: <Image X="11" Y="11" Width="64" Height="64" ImageFile="z:\src\windows\bownce\wix\logo.bmp" Visible="yes"/> and then build. On machines with Visual Studio (and therefore, I'm assuming, GDI+ ??) installed, it works great. On stock Windows 7 machines, it crashes on startup. Commenting that line out and not having an image makes it all work great again. I've tried BMPs of many sorts, JPGs, PNGs, ICOs, all to no effect. Any suggestions on how to make my setup a little less unattractive? thanks, m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
