Run installed app from installer

SteveRussell · 11th September 2011, 03:23

I want to stop using the MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN option and simply execute my installed app at the end of installation. Where do I do this?

ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT_FILE_TITLE}.exe"

Is there anything wrong with doing this?:

Section -Post
WriteUninstaller "$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT_NAME}\uninst.exe"
. . .
Exec "$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT_FILE_TITLE}.exe"
Quit
SectionEnd

Yep that's fine just make sure you quote the path as shown in the docs for Exec.
