Running my .EXE automatically after installation -
Hi,
I'm using VB's Package & Deployment Wizard to create a Setup program. Then I zip the 3 setup files (Setup.exe , Setup.lst & MyProgram.cab) into one file:
-MyProgram.zip.
I then use Winzip's Self-extractor to create a Self-extracting EXE:
-MyProgram.exe
So far so good, when I run my self-extracting exe, it extracts the setup files, runs the setup.exe and installs the program.
...But...
How Can I run my program automatically after it has been installed?
I didn't see that option in P&DW or Winzip Self-extractor.
