MSE-iT Setup Bootstrapper first Demo

I've just released a small demo, with only two pages. The background and the software box are merged together with the new support of 32bit bitmaps with alpha channel.

The background drawing consists of four overlapped bitmaps:

1. dialog background bitmap
   It displays the general background and the logo. Alle background elments who are immutable.
2. page background bitmap
   It displays the background for a page. It is alpha blended over the dialog background, and contains only the additional elements for the page background
3. dialog background localized bitmap
   It displays text and other things, which are different for every language, but immutable for the dialog.
   
4. page background localized background
   It displays text and other things, which are different for every language and page.

MSE-iT Setup Bootstrapper is now open source

Ever installed a .NET application? Windows Installer XML (WiX) is really great to develop your MSI packages. But what if the user hasn't installed the .NET Framework oder some other prerequisites? Then you need a bootstrapper! A bootstrapper is a program, mostly SETUP.EXE that does the dirty job for you. But you can't develop a bootstrapper in C#, because of the missing .NET Framework. MSE-iT has a nice bootstrapper written in C++ with a very small footprint. We will use this for our brand new accounting software for travel agencies. And i will provide it to the community:

Project on CodePlex:
MSE-iT Setup Bootstrapper

The project is in Setup stage, it will be available in a view days.
