When researching how to launch an application at the end of an install, I
found a bit of information but just getting to the examples that I need is
difficult and a little confusing. Note that launching at end of install
should not really be that difficult.
Upon searching I found:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...02(VS.85).aspx
I'm thinking "GREAT" this is exactly what I've been looking for. The
information is a little confusing without steps to follow - so I head off to
the link that says "for more information" -
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...63(VS.85).aspx
Okay, so here I am at what looks to be interesting - a good place to work
through a ton of advanced installer stuff. I still need the samples etc. so
it's off to link:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...34(VS.85).aspx
Reading at this point, it looks like I need the entire Windows SDK. Seems
quite a bit of overkill just to be able to launch an application at end of
install package. After all, this feature really should be just a checkbox in
the setup project. Follow the link - here we go:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Finally we arrive at a page stating this is an SDK specifically for Vista
installaters, with a download of 1.1 GB. Doesn't seem appropriate to what
I'm looking for.
This really shouldn't be that difficult. What am I missing?
