Hi,
I created the installer using VS 2005 and I used custom action to launch my application. I read that it's the default of the installer that it needs to wait to close the finish button.
[quote=tlhintoq]Is the installer maker the default built into Visual Studio, or a third party install maker like "InstallShield2009 for Visual Studio" ?
I use the I.S. and there is an option for granting the user and option to start after installation completes. In the actual installer that is created the final screen has a checkbox for " [x] Launch MyFabulousProgram". If it is checked when you hit the final "Finish" button, then your newly installed application starts. There is no close dialog box still open.
So I guess my question to you is: "How are you launching your application when the installation is complete?" Is it a feature of the installer maker? Is it a script you run as a post install action to be taken? Something else?
