I would prefer to have a box at the end of the install asking if they want to run the program now, how would I do that, was not sure of how to search the forums on it.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
you can create to buttons. 1 for closing the install procedure without launching the program and the 2nd for closing the install procedure launching the program.
if during setup, the user decides the path for installing the prog, than u have to save the "user-path" in a variable, that u can use at the end for launching you app.
There may be other ways for doing this...
:)

I am using the preset screens (just changed the graphics on them to customize) how would I go about modifying them for different buttons?
Thanks

Have a look here (http://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12669), this is easily accomplished with Setup Factory.

I may be missing something here.
You want to have a button that will install a program on the users system. And Then give the user the option to start the just installed program after the install has finished?
If the above is true, then just use the file.run action and set the WaitForReturn to true.
Then, give a message dialog asking for app start or cancel. If start, then just file.run the exe of where the install was performed. If cancel, then do nothing.
Is the install just a file copy action to a user picked location, or an actual created program install?

I would have the user "Check" a checkbox during one of your options page, the use that to determine if the program should be run or not when the user clicks the Exit or finished button.
