If you're using WiX v3, see "ShellExecute CustomAction" in WiX.chm. It
contains a sample showing how to use the WixShellExec custom action to
do just that.

 

If you're using WiX v2, you either need to do a custom UI or you can try
scheduling your CA in InstallUISequence after ExecuteAction. I'm not
sure the latter will work but it's worth a shot.

Subject: [WiX-users] Launching Web Page After Finish Dialog

 

Ideally, I would like to launch a web page when the user hits the Finish
button on the last dialog.  The code below works but the web page is
launched after InstallFinalize instead of when the user clicks the
Finish button.  Also, I want to only show the web page if we're not
doing a silent install or upgrade.

 

Thanks.

 

Steve
