If you 7 try to run the application from the [Run] section 6 with the postinstall flag, you can add the shellexec flag. If 5 you do that then Inno Setup will start the application 4 with the ShellExecute function rather than CreateProcess.

The 4 reason this is the case is to prevent unauthorized 3 actions from taking place on your computer. Mostly, it 2 allows companies to set policies on what 1 users can and cannot do with their computers.
