Re: [WiX-users] Is there a way to use my own bitmap?
You can change the bitmaps quite easily without having to do any hacking. In WiX 2, you simply put a file called Bitmaps\BannrBmp.bmp in the directory in which you're building your MSI (see http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php#2.3 for a list of all the files you can replace). In WiX 3, you can override the bitmaps using WixVariables (see the WiX 3 help file or http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=UiExtension), either in your file: WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=MyBanner.bmp / Or on the commandline: light -dWixUIBannerBmp=MyBanner.bmp ...

Re: [WiX-users] Is there a way to use my own bitmap?
You may try to have a look this http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=UiExtension Create a your image with the size 493 x 58 and put it in your source file folder. e.g. WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=SourceDir\xxx.bmp / Hope this help Xu nanxuan wrote: In fact, my question is not only limited to bmp, but other resources like texts, and so on.
