Automatically launch application after installation complete

In order to deploy an application written in C# using VS 2005 (and
obviously .Net 2.0) I have generated a setup and deployment project via
visual studio. In the user interface dialog I have created a
check-boxes dialog that one of them is launch application. how do I run
the application automatically when installation finish depending on
check-box?
thanks

Create an install custom action to launch the program conditioned on the
checkbox property. You'll need to make the custom action do an asynchronous
launch because if you just launch your app directly the MSI setup will wait
for your launched app to finish - that's just the way Visual Studio custom
actions work.

You wrote, "You'll need to make the custom action do an asynchronous
launch ..."

How do I set the custom action to make the asynchronously?

The only properties I see available in the Custom Actions page is
(Name), Arguments, Condition, CustomActionData, InstallerClass and
Sourcepath.
