Your code will launch Internet Explorer instead of the default webbrowser. Personally I use firefox, and if I see that your installeropens the survey in explorer I wouldn't give it a second, I would closeit right away. Thats the advantage of the ShellExecute, it will respectuser preferences.

I've seen ShellExecute recommended as the way to do this, but what'swrong 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 yourhttp://www.example.com/pagetoshow.htm

    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.

    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.
