[2005] Installer Question -
When I'm making an installer with the wonderfully crappy installer maker in VS for my VB program, I've noticed one thing suspicously missing. There doesn't seem to be a way to add an option onto the end of the installer to actually launch the program. You know like a checkbox that's checked by default that says "Launch ____ when finished". Anyone know if there's a way to add one of those?
