For example:

Hi,
I found a way to solve the problem:
1. Supressing FindRelatedProducts in the InstallUISequence
InstallUISequence
FindRelatedProducts Suppress=yes /
/InstallUISequence
2. Executing FindRelatedProducts when the Next button is clicked in the
install scope dialog:
Control Id=Next
If I'm reading this correctly you are trying to launch an exe (which the
program installed) before InstallFinalize. I'm not sure if that will work.
The recommended way is to launch at the very end using an immediate custom
action.
