Application will not launch

Post by David H »

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?

Whit your project all is good.
Please check this file in Task Manager. Does it exist?

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..
