Many moons ago we stopped adding a 'launch the installed app' check box 
to our final dialog as we had intermittent issues with the launched app 
window appearing behind other windows as per this WiX mailing list issue 
from 2005:
http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/mailman/message/11428915/
We didn't implement the coding fix that was suggested there.

At that time we were using a Custom Action:
<CustomAction Id="LaunchProduct" FileKey="ApplicationExe" ExeCommand="" 
Return="asyncNoWait" />

Now the WiX CHM suggests using a WiX a Standard Custom Action
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/run_program_after_install.html
in WiXCA:
<CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" BinaryKey="WixCA" 
DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" /> </Product>

Does anyone know if any efforts to sidestep the above issue were made 
when making this a 'Standard Custom Action' in WixShellExecTarget? Or if 
not, do people using WixShellExec to do this commonly experience this 
issue with their apps now (hard for me to test as it was intermittent)?

Many Thanks
Matt
