You can configure an executable to run after installation in the Files tab of the Edit Installer dialog. In the Local Files & Directories section, locate your executable on your system then add it to the Installation Files & Directories using the Add File button. One it is added to the installer, configure it to run after installation by right-clicking the executable in the Installation Files & Directories and choosing <executable> Options. In the Installation File Options you will find a check box to Launch After Installation. There is also a checkbox for Launch During Uninstallation if you are packaging another installer that you want to uninstall with your application. Be aware that this will not work for .msi files, but here is a workaround you can use How to Launch Additional MSI Installers From a LabWindows/CVI Distribution Kit.
