Description

@nlap

Describe the problem

The "Launch [Program]" checkbox in the final screen of the Wix installer should be checked by default (or configurable). 99% of users will want to use the software they've just installed right away.

It's a very minor thing, but every unnecessary click adds friction to the user journey.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add this code snippet the wix template:

<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX" Value="1"/>

Under:

<!-- launch app checkbox -->
<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT" Value="Launch {{{product_name}}}" />
