Launch App Immediately After Install

[NewsArchive]

Hi All

Is there a setting to get SB to launch the app immediately after it has
been installed?

Cheers

Hi Andre

Yes, there is a Run At End setting. See attached.
If this is not immediate enough, then add a Run in the wizard loop right after all
files installed.

Excellent - thanks John.

Your question might benefit from a tad more nuance, Andre.

The challenge in running at the end of the installation is the user context.

Typically, your installation is requireAdministrator. Which means it is
using the installation user's admin token, not the normal execution token.
If you launch your app at the end, it will inherit that token... which is
usually not what you want. Drive mappings, registry access, etc. will
likely be different.

I'd suggest you do a search in the SB help for "non-elevated". As I recall,
Friedrich put a LOT of sweat in figuring out how to pull off that trick...
might as well use it ;-)

I though long and hard about that and am testing with Launch
non-elevated under UAC - so far so good. This elevation nonsense is a
mine field. Friedrich has done an excellent job.
