I believe you can use the "onlyifdoesntexist" flag with the "AfterInstall"
parameter. Since the help file has this included in the BeforeInstall and
AfterInstall Parameters section:
A BeforeInstall or AfterInstall function isn't called if Setup already
determined the entry it shouldn't be processed.
You can set the parameter in your [code] section procedure you write to
determine if the Run entry should run.
