This requires that the user work as an administrator. (Only if you like trojans and malware you should work as an administrator all the time ;-) What could happen, if a user (working without administrator rights under Vista or Win7)? After he start the installation the OS ask for a admin account. Then the installation program runs under the admin account and "launch your program after the installation completes" under the same admin account! If your program creates some data files, only the admin account have access to it! If the user launch your program next day, your program run under the user (non-admin) account and create a "access denied error" while reading/writing the data file! > launch your program after the installation completes
