ADE Packaging Wizard - application to run after install carlkern(removethis)[ at ]camasoftware.com 20.07.2006 13:03:02 I am new to the 2003 packaging wizard but experienced user of the 2002 pkg wz. How do I specifiy an application to run after the install is complete? There was a separate page on the 2002 wz that allowed the user to select which file in the package could be run immediately after install. I use this feature to complete many of my application specific requirements which the installation package cannot handle (i.e. spefifying baackend file location, copying files to the backend and re-linking, etc). Seems like a key option feature was left out of the 2003 packaging wiz. Any work arounds other than instructing the user to manually run the second step of the installation process?

I can't specifically recall if this was one of them. >Seems like a key option feature was left out of the 2003 packaging wiz.
