    OK thanks no problem.

    Now I just need a way to get the user to read the readme file instead

    John,

    Billboards and the full background are a thing from the past (SetupBuilder 5 -- back in 2005) and the feature is only there for backward compatibility. It's not a good idea to use it for modern installations. There is a "Billboards.sb8" project in the Examples Package. But again, it's not recommended to use it.

    Billboard questions.

    Just completed a massive installer (loads of image files) and think it would be an idea to present some useful info as a series of slides during the installation.

    I'm assuming I can use the billboard feature for this so I set up a set of six billboard slides. Where do these need to be added to the script so that they display whilst the installer is copying files? Also can the billboard slide show be set so that it either lasts as long as the file copy procedure or repeats itself until the file copying completes?

    Thanks.

    John
