Hi,
i dont know if this is the correct group to address my problem, but i
just try here

I have an installation package (msi file) for my software which works
fine. Now i want to start the installed software as last step of the
installation process. How can i do this in a simple way. I already had a
look in google but i couldnt find any hint which will help me.

I know i need a custom action (do i really need this)?

I have VStudio 2005 and use the Installer provided with this VStudio.

Thanks all

Georg

You need a CustomAction entry in the installer, but you do not need to
create a CustomAction DLL always.

If you just want to run the app simplely, just add the CustomAction entry
which points to the "primary project output". Also, set its "Installer
class" property to "False" .
