PDW - Automatically run app after setup is complete

[huskerdon]

Is there an easy way to automatically open your new VB app right after the setup program is completed. I'm using PDW and have looked into the spawn= argument, but I don't really have time to edit the Setup1.exe program. Is there some way, maybe using a batch file to run the .exe right after the setup is competed?

If you use Inno Setup to create your install package, you can specify which programs run after installation.

Petevick and clientuser, thanks for your suggestion of using Inno Setup. I've never looked at it before, so I will download it and test it out. Thanks!

Oh come on clientuser, how easy is it to find the link, how many threads are there in this forum that mention Inno, along with the link. I was at work, my shortcut link to Inno is at home, I was just trying to get huskerdon going.
