winforms - How to run executable at end of Setup Project? -
i have visual studio setup project use install simple winforms application. @ end of install have custom user interface page shows single check box asks user if want run application. i've seen other installers quite often. cannot find way setup project run executable after install finishes. ideas?
note: cannot use custom actions because these used part of install process, want run installed application once user presses 'close' button @ end of install.
i believe 1 of real limitations of visual studio installation project. need able modify last page of installation ui vs.net not give way this. modify tables in .msi after has been built vs.net overwrite these changes each time built. may able override last page using merge module include in installation project. either way need become familiar how ui dialogs authored in .msi , not trivial.
you may want consider switching free script based installer or buy commercial setup authoring application (just don't buy installshield love of pete). take @ installaware (although have not used it).
