I'm creating a .NET installer using SetupProject of VS2008. I can force my execute file to run after installation as described here. But I don't know how to force a display of Readme.txt. When I add a text file for custom action, it always tells me that the file is not supported for custom action.

What should I do? I do not want to create a batch file for this task to invoke the display of txt file.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Just like it is described here, but you can call:

cmd /k start <path to ReadMe.txt>

not sure, maybe even start <path to ReadMe.txt> or explorer <path to ReadMe.txt> will work

  • Thanks for your answer. I did as instructed in the post. After the installation it shows the cmd window, which is so ugly and make the user be concerned about a black windows shown up without reason. – Yen NQ Mar 29 '16 at 04:15
