Hi
I am want my installation msi to run a exe after it has completed.
The exe in question will have been installed into whatever folder was chosen
during the install
So what do I put in the PostBuildEvent option eg [APPDIR]/setup.exe

Thanks in advance

if it helps I have added this to the PostBuildEvent box -

$(TargetDir)\setup2.exe

This causes the following error

Error 1 'PostBuildEvent' failed with error code '1' 'Unspecified error'
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MTSetup\mtMSI\mtSetup\mtSetup.vdproj mtSetup

So the question is when the user selects a destination folder this is stored
in a variable, so how do I reference that variable in PostBuildEvent

Surely someone can answer this?
