Hey Wayne, What you are looking to do is not possible (). I ran into an issue similar to this while looking to conditionally launch a URL according to properties set during installation.
The issue is with the execution sequences of Windows Installer. In a UI installation it goes from the UI sequence to the Execution sequence and then commits. The final dialog is then outside the transaction so all properties that have been changed are no longer accessible as the transaction has stopped. You could launch an application using the ShellExec custom action but you would have to read from the registry to find were your custom application go installed (incase the user changes the default location).
