I have amsi which installs a single app with an advertised shortcut in the Start menu. After the MSI is installed, until the user clicks on the advertised shortcut, the exe is not yet installed yet. I have a c++/Win32 developer who plans to add code to his app to launch this exe as a child process of his app. I assume that if he uses win32::CreateProcess with a path to the application folder which does not exist yet, it will fail.
1) Should I have done something different in my MSI package, to prepare for this situation? 2) Which MSI API functions should he use to get the app to launch when the MSI package is installed, but the advertised app has not yet been installed? Thanks for any advice.
