Re: [WiX-users] Error code is 2858
2858: The data for the bitmap [2] is not valid. I'd assume it's the older OS's which are having issues. Odds are you are using something in the image (Alpha channel / transparency) or a format that that OS doesn't support. You could try a different format. From the MSI SDK, the Bitmap control displays a bitmap or JPEG static picture file. I see no mention of GIF's. -Original Message- From: Tunney, Stephen [mailto:stephen.tun...@nuance.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 11:20 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Error code is 2858 Hello everyone, I'm getting this error as a debug message when attempting to display two GIF images in a UI.

JPEG doesn't support transparency. Also, it's designed for photograph-like pictures, so you'll likely get artifacts on things like logos.

I would add that there are some other really good reasons to use a Bundle to ship packaged software that is not as big as Office, VS or games that have nothing to do with prettier UI. However, those apps are different from the type of thing Christopher is describing where the applications sole purpose are to be deployed invisibly and widely through SCCM (where naked MSI may even be preferable).
