I want to have a fullscreen background in my Wise installation. Right now I only have a window. How can I make a fullscreen background with an scaled image behind this window? :confused:
PS: Please don't tell me to use an other program. I know why... :-\

Another program? Heck no! I tried InstallShield and others...keep going back to my good ole Wise :) Too many good features, and easy to use. Not to mention more reliable in my experience.
Anyhow, I'm using Wise Professionall Installer 9.02 and there is a Definition Section "User Interface". Two items in this section may be of interest to you. The "Screen" and "Billboard" items should be able to incorporate the effects you desire. In the "Screen" settings you can specify full screen background. In the "Billboard" items you can add in .BMP images (even with effects) to be showed on the background. Hope this helps.

Well, I use Wise for Windows Installer 5 Enterprise. There is a section named "User Interface", but there are only two menu items:
Dialogs
Installation Types
In the "Installations Types" dialog I only can manage the installation types, like "Typical","Complete" or "Custom".
In the "Dialogs" dialog I can only choose the Dialogs shown in the Installation and the theme for the pictures shown at the left and the top of the installation dialogs. But there is no section called "screen" or something like it.
Perhaps I can do it using the "Setup Editor". Any ideas?

Well, if your using version 5k (even though it is Enterprise) it may not have all the features you are looking for. I haven't used a wise version older than 8.14.

Well, you use the newest version of "Wise Installation System". I use the newest version of "Wise for Windows Installer". I start believing that "Wise for Windows Installer" doesn't support that feature. :(
Anyone who made a fullscreen installation with "Wise for Windows Installer"?
