Almost nothing is wrong, but I think it has two issues (one major, one minor):
- explorer.exe is always exiting after launching so "asyncWait" will behave the
same as "asyncNoWait"
- you will launch two processes. If you are a performance freak, stay away from
this :-)
ShellExecute does not have this issues.

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
