You can change the bitmaps quite easily without having to do any
hacking. In WiX 2, you simply put a file called Bitmaps\BannrBmp.bmp in
the directory in which you're building your MSI (see
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php#2.3 for a list of all the
files you can replace).
In WiX 3, you can override the bitmaps using WixVariables (see the WiX 3
help file or http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=UiExtension), either
in your file:
<WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="MyBanner.bmp" />
Or on the commandline: light -dWixUIBannerBmp=MyBanner.bmp ...

Subject: [WiX-users] Is there a way to use my own bitmap?
In fact, my question is not only limited to bmp, but other resources
like texts, and so on.
Firstly, i have to make use of "<UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />" to make my
msi, but i need to do some change to the stock dialogs. i.e.I need to
use my bmp as the BannrBmp rather than the default one that is generated
when i finished compiling the Wix project. Yes, it's true that i can use
tools like orca to change something after that. But it's not convenient.
Is there a way to generate myVersion dialog just after compiling?
(Again: I do not mean to use a custom dialog, but the existed dialog
with my modification)
thanks
