Billboards are images that appear in the large right pane of the installer while files are being installed. You can add billboards to your projects to display information to end users during the installation process. The billboards can be used to communicate, advertise, educate, and entertain end users. For example, billboards can present overviews on new features of the product being installed or other products from your company. Each billboard is a file that you or your company’s graphics department creates for control over the look and feel of your installers.
Use the Billiards view on the Installer UI page to add billboards to your project’s installer panels.
Several billboard graphics may be added for larger (and longer) installations. For small installations, like the tutorial OfficeSuite example, only one billboard is displayed.
You can optionally assign billboards to features; a billboard that is associated with a specific feature is displayed only if the feature that it is associated with is going to be installed.
If you add more than one billboard, the billboards are displayed at run time in the order in which they are listed in the Billboard List of the Billboards view, from top to bottom.
The Billboards view includes the following controls:
