Trying to start .exe after installing software
We have some monitoring software for our students that works in the background to connect to a teacher "host". I've built the package and it installs the software correctly but I can't seem to get it to start the actual program so that it can show up for the "host" software.
When I looked at the actual executable, it showed the file path and /start at the end. I've mimic'd this through command prompt but to no avail, though if I run a remote command line to it, the .exe starts up just fine.
What I have in my command prompt step is as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Netop\Vision\XL\mesuwts.exe" /start

Not sure what the "/start" at the end does, maybe specific to that program.
But in a command step, this should start a program:
start notepad.exe
or some program need it done differently:
start cmd /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE"

hi.
start cmd /c "C:\%Program Files%\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE"
Register the .exe as a service
