Well there are a lot of built-in dialogs that have a variety of options, so depending on the changes, you may have to use a custom dialog that you pre-supply.

Therefore, please provide some additional information about what you intend to accomplish and we'll see what we can do to help.

Hi TACO,

Thank you very much for ur quick response.

I am using installshield 12.0 professional edition.

Actually my project is a windows application in vs 2005. And i am using installscript to call different exes,to set the tilte of the windows,to show the agreement etc .

But its showing its own default dialogs.My client wanted to change the banner(header) image to an image related to his company.

I have written the installscript in the function OnFirstUIBefore.
But as per the knowledge i got from a document i tried the following line in my script.But no luck.
DialogSetInfo(DLG_INFO_ALTIMAGE, SUPPORTDIR ^ "header.bmp", TRUE)

I have used this line of code in the function OnFirstUIBefore.

I am very new to this. Could you pls let me know if u need more information?

Pls help me
Thanks,
Priya

I haven't done this before as such customizations haven't always been possible, but I tried it out this morning and was ultimately successfully.

Therefore, here are some things to double check:
- Confirm that the alternate bitmap file has been manually added to the project's list of support files and is therefore accessible during installation at the resulting SUPPORTDIR location.
- Based on the documentation, confirm that the alternate bitmap file measures 57 x 53 pixels.
- Preceed this function call by "nResult = " in order to confirm that the return value is 0 meaning "Style successfully applied."

Let me know then how you make out.
