I want to know the complete method of msi installation
because The msi file created when installed is not displaying the pictures that are of .png
type why does this happen and how to solve this problem?
Before creating msi when I execute the program in the vc++2008
it is showing pictures. why I am not able to view png pictures, when I create the same program msi and other pics of bitmap type
can be viewed.
I have placed png pictures in res folder, and followed the following procedure
solution explorer->ResourceFiles->right click mouse->add existing item->(added png files of res folder)
What else should I do to make my png pictures appear after installing msi.
I have used picture ctrl to display png
.
The msi instaler (
msiexec
) does not work withpng
images. You can only usebmp
andjpg
images.See the docs about the image properties:
