I have been strugling to create a setup file for my VS.NET project.
I have no problem with the deployment process up till setting the condition where it should launch the installed application if the checkbox is ticked, when the installation process is complete.

can anyone help me solve this? i have been going thru the msdn and i tried to create a custom action but i have no idea how tht works either.

this is my first time create a setup file using VS.NET

thanks

You need a custom action pointing to your executable. In te Condition, put
your property name (it will be uppercase if you have it in a UI, and it must
be uppercase in your condition). However the install won't finish until the
program finishes, which is probably not what you want.
This might help:

and you need to be aware that VS setups do not have all the capabilities you
see in other tools.
