SYMPTOMS
========

When you compile a graphic file specified under the "Installation Interface
Attribute," the following message appears:

  The graphic file does not contain a valid header. Please check if this is a
  valid bitmap file.

The Systems Management Server Installer does not allow you to compile graphics
files other than bitmap (.bmp) files. This is by design.

To work around this problem, convert the graphic file to a bitmap before
compiling it.
