I am new to the 2003 packaging wizard but experienced user of the 2002 pkg wz. 
 
How do I specifiy an application to run after the install is complete? There 
 
was a separate page on the 2002 wz that allowed the user to select which file 
 
in the package could be run immediately after install. 
 
I use this feature to complete many of my application specific requirements 
 
which the installation package cannot handle (i.e. spefifying baackend file 
 
location, copying files to the backend and re-linking, etc). 
 
Seems like a key option feature was left out of the 2003 packaging wiz. Any 
 
work arounds other than instructing the user to manually run the second step 
 
of the installation process?

I know they dropped some features in A2003.  I can't specifically 
 
recall if this was one of them. 
 
Possibly have a flag set the first time they run your app?
