Setup Project - Banner Size

[Neil Robbins]

I have created a setup project using the setup wizard and am now editing the
properties of this project. I want to replace the default banner with one of
my own. Could someone tell me what the dimensions of the banner should be
(in pixels preferably). I can do a rough match, but I'd rather things were a
bit more perfect.

As always any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're talking about the banner at the top of the screens in the Windows
Installer setup then it should be 500 x 70 pixels for the default setup
package. You can export the existing bitmap file using ORCA and see if this
is actually the size. You can then use ORCA to import a different bitmap if
you desire.

Thanks for the reply - one little futher question. What's ORCA?
