Setup and deployment - setup project in VS 2005

I created a setup project and am copying a bunch of files into the
application folder. One of these files is an exe that I want to
execute at the end of the installation. So, once I decided what files
to copy, I went to custom actions and added the .exe file as a custom
action under the install.

But the exe file is never executed when the msi runs. Everything else
works as desired. Can someone tell me how I can get this exe to run
right after the files have been copied?

Thanks
