Having Trouble Getting Billboards To Show Up
I'm using a basic MSI project, and I've followed the Displaying Billboards on a Modeless Dialog tutorial, yet I can't get my images to show up.

I've defined 4 Bitmaps under User Interface/Billboards/Images, but none of these seem to show up.
Thanks for any help :)

Try to add one Billboard for each Bitmap to the Billboard Table
e.g.
Billboard Table
Billboard - Billboard1
Feature - NewFeature1
Action - InstallFiles
Ordering - 1
Billboard Table
Billboard - Billboard2
Feature - NewFeature1
Action - InstallFiles
Ordering - 1
...
In the binary Table Add your Billboard bitmaps:
Billboard1[Binary Data]\theme\bbrd1.bmp
Billboard2[Binary Data]\theme\bbrd2.bmp
Billboard3[Binary Data]\theme\bbrd3.bmp
Billboard4[Binary Data]\theme\bbrd4.bmp
Add than in the BBControlTable (change the sizes):
Billboard1Bitmap1Bitmap002252253Billboard1
Billboard1Text1 Text5230220303{&MSSansBold8}Text1
Billboard2Bitmap2Bitmap002252253Billboard2
Billboard2Text2 Text5230220303{&MSSansBold8}Text2

Hope that will help.
