I've googled around and found some topics like http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/run_program_after_install.htm and Launch application after installation complete, with UAC turned on but, i don't use any ui. Just simple installation! So far <pre class="prettyprint"><code><CustomAction Id="LaunchApp" Directory="INSTALLDIR" ExeCommand="[SystemFolder]cmd.exe /C MyExe.exe" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" /> <Custom Action="LaunchApp" After="InstallFinalize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> </code></pre> but when i start the installer, a window pops up: "Please wait while Windows configures MyProgram". and on top of it comes cmd.exe just with a blinking cursor, when i close cmd i get message :"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Though program remains opened. How can i do that properly (without any UI)? Thanks in advance!

What happens if you use <pre class="prettyprint"><code>ExeCommand="[SystemFolder]cmd.exe /C start MyExe.exe" </code></pre>
