Adding Image Billboards to a Basic MSI Project

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

You can choose to display only one image billboard during the file transfer process, or you can include a series of image billboards, each one designed to be displayed for a specific amount of time. InstallShield includes support for .bmp, .gif, .jpg, and .jpeg image files.

Note • Animated .gif files are not supported. If you want to use animation in a billboard, consider using an Adobe Flash application file billboard.

To add an image billboard to your installation:

1. In the View List under User Interface, click Billboards.
2. In the Billboards explorer, right-click Images and then click New Billboard. InstallShield adds a new billboard item with the name NewBillboard1.
3. Type a name for the billboard item. This name is used to help you identify the item while you are creating your installation; the name is not displayed during the installation.
4. In the right pane, configure the settings for the billboard.
