Using the Package and Deployment Wizard, I created a setup program that has been successfully used to install my simple application on users' machines.

I now have a new requirement: I need to have my application start every time a user logs on to Windows.

I know how to make the program start upon logging on -- it involves adding an entry to the registry. I have incorporated that code in a program (MakeAuto.exe) and it works well.

Now the question is: How do I call MakeAuto.exe from my setup program?

I have seen in the past where people talk about modifying the setup.lst or something like that but I'm not even sure of that.

Can anyone help?
