Hi, Is it possible to start the app after the installation automatically ? If so this other applicaiton design would eleminate that focus problem. Is the behavior for Return='check' the same ?
Have a look at the WiX Custom Action ShellExecute (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/shellexec.htm ) This should be parametrizable to launch an app maximized. Afaik this is normal behavior of Windows Installer to run always on top of other windows (comp. e.g. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-make-a-CustomAction-EXE-Type-18-appear-on-top-of-MSI-dialogs-td698940.html) Regards (Viele Grüße) Tobiaas 2011/1/25 Tom Kazimiers <2voo...@gmx.de>: > Hi, > > part of my WiX based setup is the launch of the CeAppMgr application for > installing and removing programs on Windows Mobile devices.
