I would like my setup project to launch the application
it just installed after the installation is completed. I
tried using custom actions but the seem to make my setup
wait for a return from the application. I wish the call
to be asynchronous. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks
 
The custom action editor allows you to specify that the installer doesn't
require a return code from the spawned process and therefore executes it
asynchronously. I think I remember it does have that, but if it doesn't you
can always use something like Orca to edit the MSI after it's built and
change the action type to the correct flag value. The MSI SDK has all those.
 
Thanks. I wrote a small one line launcher and included it
in the custom actions. The small app does a process.start
on my application and then exit...
