Does any one know how can we execute a certain application

during the installation of another .net application??

I have a windows forms project, i need for certain code to run to
create a specific user for my application when the user installs my
project.

Thanks In Advance
 
Are you using the setup and deployment project in Visual Studio? If so, you can highlight your project in the solution explorer and click the Custom Actions editor button at the top of the treeview to open the editor where you can specify executables to be run at various install stages.
 
Well, i have an executable windows application that creates a user and i tried it and it works fine i selected custom actions and added this executable but it didnt work :( .

Can u provide me with a more detailed explanation on how to solve it.
I would greatly appreciate it...
