I want to know the complete method of msi installation because The msi file created when installed is not displaying the pictures that are of .png type why does this happen and how to solve this problem?

Before creating msi when I execute the program in the vc++2008 it is showing pictures. why I am not able to view png pictures, when I create the same program msi and other pics of bitmap type can be viewed.

I have placed png pictures in res folder, and followed the following procedure
solution explorer->ResourceFiles->right click mouse->add existing item->(added png files of res folder)

What else should I do to make my png pictures appear after installing msi.
I have used picture ctrl to display png.

The msi instaler (msiexec) does not work with png images. You can only use bmp and jpg images.

See the docs about the image properties:
