Re: Automatic running of exe while system restarts

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Put a shortcut (never the executable) into the StartUp group or place an
entry in the Run section in the registry.
This is a function of the installer not the application. Look at you
installation set up configuration, if there is no way to get it to put a
shortcut into StartUp or to modify the registry, look at a different
installer, there are several to choose from.
