I've seen ShellExecute recommended as the way to do this, but what's wrong with
doing it like this instead?
<Property Id="SURVEYURL">explorer</Property>
<CustomAction Id="TakeSurvey" Property="SURVEYURL" Return="asyncNoWait"
ExeCommand="$(var.SurveyURL)"></CustomAction>
where $(var.SurveyURL) has been set to your

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
