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

[Eddie Sutton]

Thank you.  Solved.

It works great.

Component.prototype.installationFinished = function()
{
    try {

        if (installer.isInstaller() && installer.status == QInstaller.Success) {

            /* http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/scripting-installer.html#execute-method */
            var argList = ["-a", "@TargetDir@/my.app"];
            installer.execute("open", argList);
        }
    } catch(e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
}
