Description

Billboard Type

Select the type of billboard that you want to use for your installation. Available options are:

• Fullscreen with Small progress (displayed in lower right)—When the installation displays the standard end-user dialogs, it also displays a full-screen background. During file transfer, the installation shows full-screen backgrounds, with billboards in the foreground, and a small progress box in the lower-right corner of the screen.
• Windowed with Standard progress—During file transfer, the installation displays a standard-size dialog that shows the billboards. The bottom of this dialog shows the progress bar. The installation does not display a background for this style.
• Windowed with Small (displayed in lower right, no billboards)—The installation displays a small progress box in the lower-right corner of the screen during file transfer, but it does not display any billboards or a background.

For more information, including sample screen shots of each billboard type, see Types of Billboards for Basic MSI Projects.

Loop Billboards

Specify whether you want your installation to continuously loop the image billboards until the file transfer completes and the installation shows the appropriate SetupComplete dialog.

If you select No for this setting and the file transfer takes more time than you have allocated for the billboards, the installation continues displaying the last image billboard until the file transfer ends.

If you select Yes for this setting and the file transfer takes more time than you have allocated for the billboards, the installation restarts the display of billboards from the beginning. The loop continues, if necessary, until the file transfer ends.

The default value for this setting is No.

This setting has no effect on Adobe Flash application file billboards.
