Launch or copy file outside of the suite project
Is there a way to launch an application that is installed during the suite project. We have an application that is part of one of the installs which we need to launch it and run a configuration file that will be copied down to a temp location.
Another twist would be to have the suite project copy down the file and make it available for the projects to use.

Sure, you've got lots of options here. For example, you could create an EXE package for this, and include all its files in that package. This would copy the files to the cache location (which could be the temp folder if not definied) and then run the exe with the command line specified. The variable [ISPREREQDIR] would help.
Or you could add these files as support files, and launch them from your UI by specifying an action that looks like {Open ...} where the ... is replaced with the path to the executable you wish to run. The variable [SETUPSUPPORTDIR] would help with this case.
