Launch Application on Finish Dialog doesn't work with .html

Created a package that installs some html and flash files. The "program" is started by running index.html in the program directory. Everything installs fine, and the program starts fine when launched from the shortcut in the start menu. When I choose to launch the application in the Finish dialog, it doesn't work. Any ideas on how I can make this work?

I'm not an expert on AI installs yet but it seems like the problem is that an HTML document is not an application and cannot be "launched" per-se.

What you need is an application that tells the OS to launch the HTML with the currently associated application (IE, Netscape, Opera, etc...)

I've written a utility that can do exactly that...

You would probably want to run it using method 4 in the overview using a gorun.ini file.

Hello,

We have added this ability to the version 1.9, pretty much as you are writing here, using a small laucher app.

1.9 is scheduled to be released early next week.
