[Interest] Qt Installer Framework 2.0.0 [ OS X ] - How to launch my.app on finish?

[Eddie Sutton]

Thank you Maurice, that works well.

Is there a way to control when it executes?  For example after user presses Done?


Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
    component.createOperations();
    component.addOperation("Execute", "open", "-a", "@TargetDir@/my.app");
}
