[RESOLVED] Inno Setup + Form Designer: Embed .BMP ??How

[some1uk03]

Hello,

I created a form with the ISFD (Inno Setup Form Designer). Its all ok and implemented, except there is a problem.

The form has PICTURES, but i cant get them to be EMBEDDED inside the setup, but instead need to be extracted before the setup is run!

E.g

picDefault.Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{src}\Pics\Default.bmp'));

Is there a way to EMBED the picture inside INNO?

What exactly do you mean Embed inside Inno?

BTW: Show your script...

Basically instead of loading the IMAGE from the HD!

but be able to embed it without extracting the images to the HD, and add it as a resource like in VB. You can add resource files!

Currenty I have another setup which extracts the images in to the TEMP folder, then it runs the INNO SETUP.

And to load the images i use.

picDefault.Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{src}\Pics\Default.bmp'));

So basically Im looking for an alternative to .LOADFROMFILE...

maybe .LoadfromResource ?

Let's see your Installation script. You should be able to include the images in your installation scriot and extract them to a temp folder just when you need them.

Never mind ..all done... : )

Basically i made Inno Extract the images to temp, instead of having an External App do it ...
