Setting the Billboard Order in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

•

InstallScript

•

InstallScript MSI

Image billboards are displayed according to the numeric order of their file names. A billboard file named bbrd2.bmp is displayed to the end user before a file named bbrd3.bmp, and after a file named bbrd1.bmp. For specific guidelines on naming conventions, see Naming Billboard Files in an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project.

To change the order in which billboards are displayed:

1.

Remove the billboard files whose order should change. (For more information, see Removing a Billboard from an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project.)

2.

Using Windows Explorer, rename the billboard files so that they are in the appropriate numeric order.

3.

Add the renamed files, as explained in Adding an Image Billboard to an InstallScript or InstallScript MSI Project.

Note that it is not necessary for the file name numbers to be contiguous; that is, you can add bbrd1.jpg, bbrd3.jpg, and bbrd5.jpg to your project, and each image is displayed at run time in order.
