InstallShield force applicatio launch

[jrahma]

Hi,

Is there any way to force application launch when the setup finish without giving the user the choice?

CustomAction 18 (Execute program from installed files)
Place it add the end of the InstallExecute sequence or give it a value of -1 to only install after a successful installation.

If you are using script to do this you can use the 'LaunchApp' method...

/*--- code used in the OnEnd() method ---*/

//--- hh.exe is the microsoft help html file viewer...
if (LaunchApp( "hh.exe", strPathToLaunch) < 0) then
  
  //--- Pop up error message if unable to launch application
  MessageBox( @IDS_ERROR_UNABLE_TO_OPEN_HELP_FILE, WARNING);

endif;

... figured I'd add that in case someone using InstallScript or using script for a custom action read this post. For a more detailed description see this article.

Also, at the click of the Finish button in the Final dialog, you can launch the application.

True but that would launch the app before setup was complete. In my application I ask if they want to launch the app in the Finish dialog and then in OnEnd() I check to see if they chose to or not and launch it if they chose to.
