installer look

Hi,

all the installers that i create with VS2005 (with deployement projects)
have a
flat look and feel under windows XP (flat rectangle buttons). Even the
installers created with VS2003 (and which have a correct appearance) have a
flat look once updated with VS2005.

Someone have an idea?

thanks in advance,
Pascal

Hi,

the question formulated in another way:

why installers created with VS2005 has a flat look (rectangular buttons)
whereas they had a Windows XP look when created with VS2003?

Because that's the way they designed it to look. Just a new and different
style, I suppose, to keep things fresh. Of course, you can create your own
custom installer if you want to go to the trouble.

I'm borrowing some code from Pavel's Command Prompt Explorer Bar installer to use in my own explorer bar's installer. Recently I've been thinking that using an assembly version like "1.0.*" (hence, for example, "1.0.1304.25935") would be useful, at least for development and debugging purposes. (Someone please point out the cons to this idea!) Well, anyway, Pavel's installer basically exists to register the assembly, and unregister the...

I saw an article, once, on how to package image file in the installer so they are not accessible to the end user. I want to say hidden, but I don't just mean the file attribute of the image file. Does anyone know of the article I'm speaking of or a link on how to embed (another poor choice of words) the image files in the executable? Thanks, John
