"Do you want to run the application?" message...

Hi,

I want to add a question at the end of the install process asking if the user wants to run the application they just installed.

Ive tried to do it using custom actions to start a mini-program that will fire my main application but the custom action is called before the end of the install process.

Is there a way to do this properly ?

Thanks

Todd

We don't have built-in support for this at this time...

You can try moving the custom action to the Commit phase... should work better.

Hi David,

Thanks for the answer :)

I have tried it in the commit phase and it still is executed before the final stage of installation.

My mini-app is just a popup window that launches my main app. Running it before the final installation dialog just results in a crash as the main app hasn't been fully installed.

Ive seen other application do this but can't figure out how.

Any help appreciated

Kindest

Todd.

There are other 3rd party installer tools that support this ability, but our setup projects never have. We hope to get a whitepaper out sometime this year on how to do it, but I haven't played with that yet, so I can't really help.

My apologies.
