Running Application after installing from .cab

Question

i need to know a way to run my application on a Windows CE 6.0 Device after installing from a .cab file. The application is placed in the autostart folder.. so i need either a warm reboot or a direct start after installing from .cab

Can somebody give me a solution for that problem?

greetings

Add a custom setup.dll to the installer package. Launch your app in Install_Exit by calling the CreateProcess API. You can assemble the path if it's user changeable by using the pszInstallDir parameter that's passed in.
