We have a requirement to call an application at the end of the installation. We have not been able to find any way to do this after the installer exits.
If this does not exist, then our "fix" was to make a custom action which called an application (a java program called by [#util.jar] at the Commit level). The problem with that approach is that sometimes, the application appears in back of the installer (effectively hidden) and other times it is in front where the user can see it.
If one must use the custom action approach, is there a way to insure the called program will be visible (in front of the installer screen)?

Hi mhubel
If you've got the professional version, or higher, you can toggle a check box on the last dialog of the install that runs any executable you want. In professional go to Dialogs -> ExitDialog and on the right there'll be the 'Launch App' option.
Similarly in Enterprise you just need to go to the Finish Actions tab on the same dialog.
Oh and by the way, you should check Advanced Installer's documentation. Its pretty thorough.

Exactly what was ordered
Thanks, I was sure I had seen this somewhere but could not find it again. I grant it must be in the documentation but sometimes one latches on the wrong thing to search for and then can never seem to find it.
