Rather than change the BannerBitmap property for each dialog displayed in the deployment project's User Interface Editor screen. Is there a way to change the (Default) setting deep in the bowels of VS2005?

Thanks.

Try this:

Download Windows Installer SDK.

In it you will find a Orca.msi. install it.

With explorer browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Deployment\VsdDialogs.

There you will find a subfolder for most cultures.

Go to the culture subfolder you're using.

Open VsdUserInterface.wim with Orca.

In the binary table you'll find a row with name DefBannerBitmap.

Double click [Binary Data] to select your own banner image file (jpg or bmp, not gif). It has to have a width of 500 pixels and a height of 70 pixels.

Store the VsdUserInterface.wim.

Build the setup projects again with having the BannerBitmap property refering to Default.
