Build specific override bootstapper images

Hi,

I need deploy same application branded for 3 different partners (same app name and version, only graphic is different). Graphic and some custom behavior in app rely on serial number, it means files are identical. In previous version I used build specific setting in theme to alter graphic for different setup file brands. But now I added pre-install prerequisite which shows bootstrapper dialog. I can override images in UI - Dialogs - Bootstrapper UI but I cannot find way how change image for each build. One build only contain additional logo and does not make huge issue but other have completely different graphic (colour scheme). Is there any solution?

Re: Build specific override bootstapper images

Hi,

The Pre-Install prerequisites are displayed by our bootstrapper and the related dialog cannot be changed/modified.

A workaround will be to use the Save as template option. For details, please check the Using the "Save as template" option article.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Re: Build specific override bootstapper images

Hi,

I think it's dangerous manage multiple projects due to human error when something changed (different component guids etc.).

Maybe I have work around in my head which should work:
Keep Override dialog image and Override banner image set to same filename in all builds (because there is no other option).
Create pre-build event for each build which will copy build specific image to file used by bootstrapper.
