High DPI and MSI
How are images supposed to be handled so high dpi machines look correct when running an msi installation? I have a basic msi installation I have been using for years and have upgraded the application to support high dpi. I see discussions about installscript and advanced ui, but not msi.
- Splash Screen (support files)- looks like all it supports is bmp. Can other files be added like image.dpi.png?
- Dialog banner images - Only bmp support?
- Internal images like the folder in the destination folder dialog - dsticon.ibd - why a ibd and not an ico where you can have multiple resolutions? What is special about an ibd anyway?
Thanks

Generally nothing is special about an .IBD file. That just is Flexera's own extension that they came up with and it means "InstallShield Binary Data". Take a given .IBD file and rename it to .BMP and open it in Windows Paint. Works for me every time.
I believe MSI does generally only support BMP file format for graphics, yes. I call mine NewFolder.BMP and UpLevel.BMP for the file names.
