How to determine what program runs from the Finish Dialog

I am new to IA Express and have two questions:
1. Since I can't remove the "Run App" checkbox, how do I set the application that is called by it. I have several exes that are distributed with the installer.

2. Is there any way in Express to edit choices made during the Project Wizard? ex. I selected the MDAC 2.8 refresh and now want to remove it without recreating the entire installer.

Thanks,

CBH

1) See the Run Programs visual view under Advanced Options for this.
2) None at this time, but our upcoming update addresses this issue.

1. Help me out here, How do I read the checkbox variable returned by the user if they want to run the app?
2. Ouch!

Thanks,

Express will take care of #1 for you if you specify the Finish Dialog timing option in the Run Program view.

I have 6 programs that I am using the Run programs function to handle at the end the installation. I am registering a bunch of ActiveX EXEs with the /REGSERVER command line options and one other msi file that I need to monitor completion of before continuing execution of the main application. Am I going to be able to pull this off with the Express version.

Thanks,

You can try using the Run Program visual view...but it seems to me you really want to have scripting in there.
