I have added an external .exe file into my VS2010 setup project and I’d like the installer to run it automatically at the end of the installation.
I am trying to use Post-build event, and put command line there, like $(OutDir)program.exe. But it didn’t seem to work. So what am I missing here? Thanks.
Usually, for launching a file installed by the package a custom action is used. You can add one in VS too. In your case, for the EXE to be launched as late as possible you can add it under the Commit phase.
