    To accomplish this you would need a MODIFY REGISTRY action.

    It would look something like this:

    Action: Set value
    Main Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Sub_Key: Control Panel\Desktop
    Name: WallPaper
    Type: REG_SZ
    Data: (Here you would put the full path to the image file that you want to replace such as %SrcDrv%\Data\sample.bmp

    You should have this path referencing the file on their system, therefore you should install the file.

    What this will do is replace the current path to the image with the path to an image that you specified.
    If you check in the registry, you will see that this had indeed changed.
    I don't know if this method is the same for every Operating System, but I was working on Windows 2000.

    Even though this changes the value in the Registry, it will not be refreshed until the computer is rebooted.

    Hope this helps.
