Thanks. I too figured it out by peeking the code, however, I found another way that I consider preferable to supplying command line parameters: I added the following elements in <Product>: <WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="Installation\images\My-banner.bmp"/> <WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" Value="Installation\images\My-banner-large.bmp" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIExclamationIco" Value="Installation\images\WarningIcon.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIInfoIco" Value="Installation\images\QuestionIcon.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUINewIco" Value="Installation\images\Dir-new.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIUpIco" Value="Installation\images\Dir-up.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="Installation\LicenseAgreement.rtf" /> However I wonder what good it is, that the Binary Ids for images (e.g. WixUIBannerBmp) are localised. Every localisation file (wxl) *MUST* specify a <String> element (actually several elements because there seem to be a mapping from several controls to same Binary Id) like this: <String Id="WelcomeDlgBitmap" Overridable="yes">WixUI_Bmp_Dialog</String> (and similar for other Id-values). Otherwise the WixUI library wont work. The text "WixUI_Bmp_Dialog" can of course be any of the other 5 Binary Ids, and it will compile, but it will render ugly due to shape mismatch. I find it waste of a translators time to copy all these entries, and it messes up the wxl file, with many entries that does not give any practical customisation. Please enlight me if I got something wrong, here. It seems like localisation of Binary Ids is a result of the fact that Binary Ids is specified in the Text attribute of the <Control> element, and that attribute is (for consistency, I assume) always localised. The result, however is confusing, and gives an impression of customisation, which is virtually not there (at least not that way). If bitmaps needs to be localised (because they may contain text, flags, maps, etc.) one must do something like this anyway: <WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="Installation\images\$(loc.LANG)\My-banner.bmp"/>, right? Basically I don't consider it a very clean design to use the Text attribute to specify Binary Id, but I assume that is resemble Windows Installer tables, where the Binary Ids are stored in the Text column of the Control table. So I consider it a design flaw of Windows Installer rather than a design flaw of Wix. Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.
