Hi Guys

Please excuse what must seem a rather stupid question from a Newby (yes I know, I should search the forum first for help, but am not sure of how to word the search criteria).

How do I get Setup Factory to launch a specified file automatically upon completion of the setup procedure. So for example, how would I go about an html file to open automatically?

I do appreciate any help you kind folks could offer me.

use the File.OpenURL action in the 'On Post Install' script, this will open the specified file in the user's default browser once the installation is finished.

for example
File.OpenURL("http://disney.com");

the argument could be not only a web address (http://...) but also a path to a file available locally on the HDD.

In case you want to launch another type of file (not something a browser can open) , use the File.Run action - see help for details
