Just curious: MSDN says that LoadBitmap() is deprecated, and to use LoadImage() instead. I wonder if that makes a difference with the BMP version used. Would you mind opening a bug? I would like to test this scenario out. -Blair From: wdh61 Sent: ‎Tuesday‎, ‎December‎ ‎03‎, ‎2013

Something odd is going on with the splash screen image processing. A bmp that is output from ImageMagik won't display either. (Although it will if I open it in Paint, save and then rebuild the installer) I'm trying to change the product version number at build time in the splash screen image.

OK, here's the real answer. Gimp and ImageMagik output a bmp in bmp version 4 format. ImageMagik does that as well but can also output version 3 format. The resulting version 3 file will display in the installer. So, bmp splash screen files have to be version 3 format. -- View this message
