Hi all.

How I can run my application after press Exit button in installation wizard ?

I`ve made

1. Install class with overriding OnCommited method,
2. custom action in setup project with CustomActionData = "/path="[TARGETDIR]\" /runAdmin=[RUNADMIN]" (in custom action -> commit folder),
3. additional wizard's dialog with one checkbox (CheckBox1Property = "RUNADMIN")

If checkbox is checked my application starts fine BUT (!) before pressing Exit button in installation wizard (after last dialog window appears).

What I should do to run my app after wizard's closing/exiting ?

Sorry for my english...

Hi,

I have been trying to do it for ages, the tool only has the commit action as the last event and I couldn't register anything after that. I have even tried to use the installer class of the application and overriding the Dispose to launch the applicaiton but it was useless, the commit event launches the installer class and when it finishes it disposes it, but the installer is still running.

I felt quite frustated until I use the Windows Installer SDK and I have said goodbye to the VS Setup tool. You have all the flexibility that you need event rebooting events and what is great, you can control what to do after rebooting :)

Other easier option (but you have to pay) is jumping to InstallShield (excellent product) but a little expensive.

Check the SDK and let me know if you have any question.

Best regards

Thank you.

But i have no time to learn WinInstaller SDK right now :( .

And I've made setup project without any actions except defaults for now...

I run my application as separate process. ( Process.Start(somepath) )

Does Install will waits for finishing this process?

But anyway I still need to finish install app when I starting main app.

Ok.

Thank you all!
