VB6 App Launch on Install

[novice24]

Have searched numerous sites seeking information on launching a VB6 application after install. I keep finding information on "Select the Custom Action Installer project in Solution Explorer. On the View menu, point to Editor, and choose Custom Actions....". But I can't find this Custom Action Installer, or the editor/choose Custom Actions. Is this Custom Action Installer only available in .NET? Is there some way to achieve the same result (i.e. Launch App on Install), using VB6 Professional Edition.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

One possibility,

in the folder

C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1\

is the P&D vb project (Setup1). you could modify it to launch the app after installation.

I would suggest making a work copy of the entire folder before starting.

You could use Inno Script and Inno Setup. It produces an .exe that includes a checkbox to launch the app. You can get links to both at
