Opening xls from finish page
Hi there,

I have just started using NSIS and am trying to open a spreadsheet-based app from the finish page using the command:

!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\spreadsheet.xls"

The checkbox appears OK but nothing happens when I press OK.

Any idea what the problem might be? I have checked all the obvious things (i.e. is the file present etc).

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Simon.

You may (or may not) have realised that in the readme it says:
MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN exe_file

xls is not an exe, and thus you should use:
MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME file/url
MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT text
