Ms Access 2007 Packaging and development tool

[ultramel1987]

Hi

I have recently installed the development extensions in Ms Access 2007. This allows me to "Package" my database, and then install in on various pc's. This is working perfectly.

What I would like to know is whether it is possible to 'edit' the "screens" of the packaging tool. Eg, in the first screen when the user installs the package - the packaging tool gives you the option to include a picture on the screen "by default, it is a picture of a cd". But whichever image I select for this, it stretches it and makes it very skew

Is there a packaging tool available that will allow me to edit the gui of the "installation screens"

plz tell me if I have not explained myself correctly

Thank you

My guess is it's the same, very limited, installer software available as a Setup & Deployment package in Visual Studio. Best bet would be to create an image exactly the same size as the "CD image" used in the installer, so it doesn't get stretched when you choose to insert yours.

There are many MSI creation tools out there (of which all escape my memory right now) that are more scalable and customizable than the limited ones available in the Access Development Extensions and Visual Studio. Just Google a bit and you'd be sure to find them.
