Adding Billboards to a Dialog

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Windows Installer does not support the display of billboards outside installation dialog
boxes.

To add billboards to a dialog box
1. Select Setup Editor > Dialogs tab.
2. In the left pane, select the Progress dialog under Install Dialogs.
