Re: How to get a "Launch Application"?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It seems to be a common misconception that Visual Studio setup projects have
some set of features comparable to InstallShield, Wise, Advanced Installer
etc.

Ok found the solution

MsiLaunch tool - it works perfectly
http://www.cornerhouse.ca/download/msilaunch.msi

Why this functionality is not in VS 2005 IDE for Setup projects is beyond
me -- so where do the good programmers go? Obviously not M$ -- or there
again maybe the smart ones do go to M$, after all they don't have to use
what they produce.

There doesn't appear to be any "Launch Appliation" dialog box that I can
add to the User Interface End section -- is there some way I can get this
to happen via VS 2005 Windows Setup project?
