How to launch application after install

Hi,

I’m trying to launch application after it was installed. I created a Windows
App Deployment project.
I added to “End” phase of “User Interfaces” editor a custom dialog box with
“Launch the application” check box. I also added custom action to “Commit”
phase.

Unfortunately, custom action runs earlier that the dialog box is presented
(during the commit) and not at the end of installation.
I'm using VS.NET 2003.

Have anybody managed to implement something similar?

Thanks in advance.

I am having a real problem with the Launch conditions in VS .NET and can only come to the conclusion that it is a bug. It states quite emphatically in the MSDN that Launch Conditions WILL be executed in the order added. This statement holds true if every Condition has a InstallURL value set. but not if there is no InstallURL value. For Example : I want to check that W2K exists on the target machine before installing SP4. So, I add a...

I created a CustomAction for this but I don't think I have it in the right place. I tried both Install and Commit but neither allow it to get to the final screen. Are there any examples of this anywhere? Thanks, Joe

We tested an install doing an Active Directory push to client machines and it failed. The application installed but the custom action would not launch and the install hung. The only error message we could find in the Event Viewer was 'Fatal Error', nothing else. A customer of ours was able to...

Hi there, I'm very new to activex controls and c# programming. I'm writing a c# application and I want it to be invoked when my users click a button on a web page. Its an application with a GUI so the app would come up and be running independent of the web browser (i.e. not embeded in it). Also note, that this application is one that is already installed

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
