Hi Lucky49,

Do not use physical file path like "C:\MyProject\Setup.exe"
instead use "$INSTDIR\Setup.exe" OR "$EXEDIR\Setup.exe"

I guess you have a problem there.

Another cheap alternative is
ExecShell "open" "C:\MyProject\Setup.exe" if your concern is to have a physical path only.

Best of luck and welcome to NSIS Forum.
