Common questions about using Actual Installer.

Application will not launch

Postby David H » Wed May 02, 2012 6:57 am

On the Dialogs/Finish page I have Launch Application set and the File set to <installDir>\myprog.exe

At the end of the installation I get the launch page, but the launch does not happen

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

No, nothing in the task manager

The application does install properly and will run from the desktop - just no launch from the installer

It turns out that there were a number of files left over in the installation folder that had accumulated over multiple uninstall/install cycles

I had to reboot to delete them and that fixed the launch

Leo, thanks for checkng out the project..
