How do I open the program files folder for the application I just installed?

Question

Hello,

Creating a C# install package and I'd like on completed install for the "Program Files/My Application" folder to open.

Any way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Environment.CurrentDirectory should do the trick.

Answer 2

You will need to create a custom action. Here is an example that opens a web page after install.

Instead of opening the webpage, just use Environment.CurrentDirectory to get the location and open the directory by starting an explorer process with the path args.

Answer 4

If you setup was built with Actual Installer, you just need to add the following command on System/Commands tab:

Command: <InstallDir>

Timing: After Installation
