Windows Installer

Probabily this is wrong section, but i don't know how post it.

I'm making a project installer project with windows installer 3.1.

I'd like, at the end of installation, that the installer execute my application.

Some one know how

don't start learning Wix...

Wix is Windows Installer XML, it is not easy to learn and most often you can handle installer problems with custom actions.

It has to be possible.... This is what I did:

Add an Installer Class to startup project, and override the OnCommit method. In there, use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("pathToYourExe"). Then add a custom action to the installer project so that it knows to run the installer class.

It works on XP but not on win2K professional clients....no idea why.

How exactly are you creating your installer With WiX

Sadly I do not know much about creating installers other than what InstallShield Express provides (WiX is on the list to learn, it just hasn’t been achieved yet.

From what I understand though, you’d need to add a custom action to your installer to carry out this task, something like this:

<CustomAction Id='LaunchProduct' FileKey='ApplicationExe' ExeCommand=''
Return="asyncNoWait" />

Also if this is a WiX question, you may want to direct it to a forum such as this one in future.

I'm using visual studio installer...
