Changing the WiX Standard Bootstrapper Application Branding

The WiX Standard Bootstrapper Application displays a generic logo in the bottom left corner of the user interface. It is possible to change the image displayed using the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication element provided by WixBalExtension. The following example uses a "customlogo.png" file found in the "path\to" folder relative to the linker bind paths.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension">
<Bundle>
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication
LicenseFile="path\to\license.rtf"
LogoFile="path\to\customlogo.png"
/>
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>

For the HyperlinkSidebarLicense UI, there are two logos and they can be configured as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension">
<Bundle>
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkSidebarLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication
LicenseUrl="License.htm"
LogoFile="path\to\customlogo.png"
LogoSideFile="path\to\customsidelogo.png"
/>
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
