[Branding]

Answer File = Oobeinfo.ini

The [Branding] section contains entries for incorporating your company name into Windows Welcome. Your company name appears on two pages in Windows Welcome:

Entry Description
OEMLogo Specifies the logo of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
OEMName Specifies the name of the OEM.

Sample

This sample demonstrates one use of the [Branding] section of Oobeinfo.ini.

[Branding]
OEMLogo = "OEMlogo.ext"
OEMName = "Fabrikam, Inc."

OEMLogo

Specifies the logo of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

Syntax OEMLogo = * | OEM_logo_file_name
Values *

Empty string. (Default)


OEM_logo_file_name

File name of the OEM logo.
Example 
OEMLogo = oemlogo.ext
Comments You can add a graphic of your logo to Windows Welcome in .bmp, .gif, .jpg, or .png formats. You must place the logo file in the ..\Oobe\Images folder. You can specify only the file name; you cannot specify an alternative path. If you leave OEMLogo blank or set it to anything other than a valid logo in the ..\Oobe\Images folder, no graphic or error displays.

If you use a logo larger than 255 x 40 pixels, the logo displays cropped or truncated on the right and at the bottom. If you use a logo smaller than 255 x 40 pixels, Setup uses its actual size. The unused area becomes transparent and the Windows Welcome background becomes visible.

You can use any file name for the Windows Welcome logo file. In contrast, the image file used for the System Properties dialog box must be named Oemlogo.bmp.
