Just to muddy the waters a little, over the weekend I wrote a quick and dirty DLL that has a single method that launches my application. The path to the app is hard coded in the dll to be C:\testing\foo.exe. If I change the installation directory on install to match this value the application will launch!?

I'm going to have to make the dll more dynamic so that it can find the installed executable and launch it. I've got to get this installer finished today but if you have any other ideas I'd love to here them. I've never run into this problem before??

Neither have I. The only other suggestion I can make is to open the Run dialog from the Start menu, type the full path, and hit Enter, all while the exit dialog is up on the screen. If your DLL is using CreateProcess, it's probably doing the same thing as MSI.
