[wix-users] MSI doesn't show custom banner and background image on Windows 7

[Jeremy Farrell]

That's the most compatible, but 32-bit JPEGs have worked without problem 
for me back to XP days at least; they should be the right size though, 
interesting things can happen if they're not.

Note that this is a Windows Installer restriction, nothing to do with 
WiX, so varies depending on the version of WI in use.
