Displaying a Splash Screen

To display a splash screen while the installation is initializing, simply create a .BMP file and add it to the setup. All bitmap types at all color resolutions are supported; however you may want to keep to 256 colors on your bitmap in consideration of older systems with graphics cards that cannot display higher resolutions.

1. Name the bitmap file setup.bmp.
2. Display the Project Manager.
3. Add the bitmap to the project as support files.

If you later need to remove or update the splash screen, simply modify its file as a regular support file. The Project Manager will maintain a reference to your bitmap file in your project and the bitmap file will be placed in your project folder.
