[wix-users] WiX bundle splash screen appears twice dependent on size and resolution

[Hoover, Jacob]

Using WixStdBA or a custom BA?

Any custom theming?

Subject: [wix-users] WiX bundle splash screen appears twice dependent on size and resolution

Hi there,

the splash screen of our current WiX bootstrapper project (using WiX 3.11.1) seems to appear twice at least on displays with 1600*1200 or higher resolution: After its first appearance, it vanishes and comes again at a slightly different position. This looks like some Windows component trying to resize something...

On displays with lower resolution, we cannot reproduce that behaviour yet.

In another bootstrapper project of ours, we do not see this effect. Having done a bit of investigation, we found out that the exact size of the bitmap may have an influence:
Bitmap size 600*300: no issue
Bitmap size 595*298: splash screen appears twice on high-resolution displays

Is this a known issue? Is there some workaround (apart from resizing the bitmap, which is tricky, as these bitmaps are made externally)?

Best regards

Matthias Reuss
