The Custom Action is called LaunchDBS. It's run from the ExitDialog if the relevant check box is checked. It's defined like so: <CustomAction Id="LaunchDBS" Return="asyncNoWait" FileKey="dbsview.exe" ExeCommand="" Execute="immediate" />
And dbsview.exe is the file key refered to in a component like so: <Component Id="dbsui" Guid="165BAE14-E4C2-4E70-A8E3-FC67E754E622"> <File Id="dbsview.exe" Name="dbsview.exe" DiskId="1" Vital="yes" src="../UIApp/bin/Release/dbsview.exe"> <Shortcut Id="sLaunchUI" Directory="DBSMenuDir" Name="SN-DBS~1" LongName="SN-DBS Network View" /> <Shortcut Id="sStartupUI" Directory="StartupFolder" Name="SN-DBS~1" LongName="SN-DBS Network View" /> </File> </Component> The line from ExitDialog that runs it is a child of the 'Finish' button control and look like this: <Publish Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchDBS"><![CDATA[(InstallMode<>"Remove") AND (InstallMode<>"Repair") AND (InstallMode<>"Change") AND (RUNDBSNOW=1)]]></Publish> RUNDBSNOW is the property associated with the 'run UI now' check box on the dialog.
