launching an application from installshield script

I am using installshield for MS Visual C++ 6 for creating a setup that will install my application.

1) I am unable to launch the application once the setup is complete. I tried the wizard and checked the launch app box.. but no help.. pls. advise

2) is there a way by which i can launch a *.bat file from within the installshield script ?

You can write commands calling your program/batch file to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce and finish installation with reboot. After reboot they will be executed.
See also InstallShield-specific information in http://www.installsite.org
In InstallShield Express it's under "Installshield Extensions" (translated from German, I don't know the exact word in English version).
