Billboards View

InstallShield 2016

Project • The Billboards view is available in Basic MSI projects.

For information about billboard support in InstallScript or InstallScript MSI projects, see Support Files/Billboards View (InstallScript and InstallScript MSI Projects).

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 complete control over the look and feel of the file transfer.

If you add one or more billboards to your project, the billboards are displayed at run time as the SetupProgress dialog reports the modifications that Windows Installer is making to the system. You can control the length of time the billboard is shown and its position by configuring its settings in the Billboards view.

To learn about the settings in the Billboards view, see:

Billboard Settings—These are project-wide billboard settings.
Settings for Adobe Flash Application File Billboards and Image Billboards—These settings are displayed in the right pane in the Billboards view when you click a Flash billboard or image billboard in the center pane.
