I have completed the core functionality of my installer, but need to add the ability for the user to launch the application after it has finished installing.
I have already gained elevated privileges earlier in the install process, but when the installer tries to launch the application it fails with the following error log:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\abc\xyz\xyz 1.2.exe" (in directory "C:\Program Files\abc\xyz"): CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

Any ideas?
If this is generated launcher, try selecting "As invoker" on the "Executable info->Windows manifest options" step of the launcher wizard. The "Run executable" action will provide the privileges.
