The references you would see about Wix would only be scheduled to run if your 
installer is ran with a UI, which by default you won't want to do with burn.  
Assuming you are using WixStdBA, take a look at 

<Variable Name="LaunchTarget" 
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]\Path\To\Your\Program.exe"/>

This should give the user the option of clicking the launch button when the 
bundle install is complete.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn Bootstrapper run executable on exit

I'm using the WiX (3.6) Burn bootstrapper to bundle a prerequisite component 
(Bonjour) with the setup for my program. It works great and all, but:

I'd like to add a step to the end where I run an executable from my INSTALLDIR 
on exit. I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out.

I've tried:

<CustomAction Id="LaunchApp"  Directory="INSTALLDIR"
              ExeCommand="[INSTALLDIR]my app name.exe"/>

But don't know where to put it in my Burn's bundle wxs file. Any pointers? 
Thanks!

I found a Google hit about this, and I've also tried putting the following:

<CustomAction Id="LaunchApp"  Directory="INSTALLDIR"
              ExeCommand="[INSTALLDIR]Any Send.exe"/>

at the end of my app's installer MSI, but when it gets integrated into the Burn 
bootstrapper install, this line doesn't appear to do anything.


Is this possible?


thanks,
m.
