I've created a msi installer with visual studio 2008. I'd like to launch the installed program right after the installer has finished.

1) How to add a User Interace like many installers have that asks if to launch the app now?

2) Can I create a custom action that runs the app with user privileges?

A: 

You can either create a js custom dialog described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1668274/run-exe-after-msi-installation

or you can make a custom action at commit that calls [TARGETDIR]\YourApp.exe

problem is that the wrong user is executing the app in that case. the msi seems to have its own user that is just for the setuo (i guess for some reason e.g. rollback). any ideas?
