Here is the code: <Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#Test.msi]" /> <CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" Execute ="immediate" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" /> <UI> <Publish Dialog="SecondDlg" Control ="CheckBox1" Event="DoAction" Value ="LaunchApplication">NOT Installed</Publish> </UI> I tried after changing Execute="commit" but it didn't worked.
