We use an installShield installer and it has provision for a file to execute when the installation ends. Is that what you mean?

Subject: [dba-VB] .Net Setup, launch application after installation OK, am I the only one having a hard time with this? Visual Studio 2008 doesn't offer a simple method of launching the application after installation (via Setup/MSI), or at least provide an easy way to prompt the user if they want to launch the app on the finished screen. I used to be able to so this from Install Shield, Wise and hell, even via WinZip Self Extractor. I've been following tips from here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/Installation.aspx?msg=3340422#xx3340422xx and here: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/08/12/696833.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage But I still don't have the ability to launch the app that is being installed. Do any of you .Net gurus know of an easy way to do so?
