Run chm after msi installation?


I would like to launch a Windows Compiled HTML Help file with .chm extension after my MSI installation.

There is a script at Run exe after msi installation that inserts a checkbox (had to use the two bugs fixes further down) into the last page of the installation.

The script completes but I'm not sure if the LAUNCHAPP=1 can only launch executables after the installation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

  • Duplicate question, short answer... hh.exe is associated with .CHM files, so you need to call that.

    hh.exe MyHelpFile.chm
