Video played during the installation progress (game related)

[David_Jorge1991]

Hello, on behalf of our head developer the reason is posting this because; we are working a video game modification project which to be released SOON. Making the installer using InstallBuilder is easy as pie (which is the main topic, NOT the game itself). The problem here is: big boss[head developer] wants a video attached to it which automatically plays during the Installation sequence, probably a custom code or something to execute. To get your idea here are examples. Watch carefully and don't mind the game itself just only the installer:

So my question here is how to add and automatically play a non-loopable video file during the user installation progress using InstallBuilder just like the links I provided.

Hi @David_Jorge1991,

Unfortunately there is no built in functionality for playing videos, however you could use the <launchBrowser> action to open the browser automatically:

    <launchBrowser>
      <url>https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=HtGAhl4353g&t=240s</url>
    </launchBrowser>

Would that work for you?

Regards,

Michiel

Hmmmmmmm I think that would be a consolation prize for me but I don't know. Wait! Hold on, I have an alternative question @michieldhont_: is it possible to implement a powerpoint presentation style feature in which a music or voiceover file (non-loopable setting) accompanied with various pictures or images to display in the background while installing kinda similar to this?

PS: how do I include serial keys to it? Is it possible to add audio file everytime I click next or run the installer?

Unfortunately it's not possible to play audio but InstallBuilder does have a SlideShow feature that shows images during installation:
