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.
