With Visual Studio Setup&Deployment projects you can't customize the finish
dialog. You can insert a pre-defined checkboxes dialog earlier in the UI
sequence and use it to set a property (such as CHECKBOXES1 I believe) that
you can use as a condition on a custom action to run your app. You'll need
to do the launch asynchronously because VS generates synchronous custom
actions, and so the install would not finish until your app completed.
