Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.
Important • If your installation includes billboards, your installation must include a Setup.exe setup launcher. The setup launcher is required because it displays the billboards at run time. The Setup.exe tab for a release in the Releases view is where you specify information such as whether you want to use a setup launcher. To learn more, see Setup.exe Tab for a Release.
If your installation includes a Flash billboard and one or more image billboards, only one billboard type is displayed at run time during the file transfer process: the Flash billboard or the image billboards.
| • | If the Flash Player is present on the target system, the installation displays the Flash billboard. |
| • | If the Flash Player is not present, the installation displays the image billboards. |
The run-time behavior is slightly different, depending on whether the installation is displaying a Flash billboard or image billboards:
| • | If the installation is displaying a Flash billboard—When the file transfer is complete, the installation continues showing the Flash billboard until its duration has elapsed. Once the duration has elapsed, the installation stops displaying the billboard and shows the appropriate SetupComplete dialog. |
If the file transfer takes more time than you have allocated for the duration of the Flash billboard, the installation continues displaying the Flash billboard until file transfer ends.
| • | If the installation is displaying image billboards—When the file transfer is complete, the installation stops displaying the image billboards, even if other billboards are scheduled or the current billboard’s duration has not elapsed. The installation then shows the appropriate SetupComplete dialog. |
If the file transfer takes more time than you have allocated for the billboards, the installation continues displaying the billboards until file transfer ends. If No is selected for the Loop Billboard setting in the Billboards view and the installation reaches the last billboard before the file transfer ends, the installation continues displaying that last image billboard until file transfer ends. Then the installation shows the appropriate SetupComplete dialog. If Yes is selected for this setting and the installation reaches the last billboard before the file transfer ends, the installation restarts the display of billboards from the beginning. The loop continues, if necessary, until the file transfer ends, and the SetupComplete dialog is displayed.
Note • If the version of Flash or other tool that you use to create your .swf file is newer than the version of the Flash Player that is installed on a target system, it is possible that some of the Flash features may not work as expected on that target system.
