iexplore.exe INSTALLDIR\Doc\test.html

I tried to Make a new custom action "New Exe -> Path referencing a directory"
in Working Directory i choose the "DOC" folder and in FileName & Command line i choose the folowing:

iexplore.exe [INSTALLDIR]\Doc\test.html

Can anybody help me?

Thanks Chris

Chris are you trying to do something like this: http://support.insta...ticleid=q106070

If so then you can following the instructions in the link for the txt file but use the following following tool http://www.ashzfall....rowsercall.html to launch the default browser on the box. It may not be internet explorer, or ie may have been removed.

I did the above solution to launch my html readme at the end of install. Just follow the above instructions to enable the SetupCompleteSuccess dialog then instead of creating a CA to launch notepad use the browsercall tool instead. The CA is TYPE Launch an EXE Location stored in the binary table. source is the location of browsercall.exe and target is [INSTALLDIR]\readme.html in my case.

Vince.

You can also add a Custom Action and sequence it after the SetUpComplete and use LaunchApp to launch the required application and pass the parameter(ie the file name) to it.
