How to automatically start my application when my setup is done in C# setup project

Question

I want that my application start after my setup is finished. I try to launch a cmd file in the custom actions but the VS setup project doesn't want to take the cmd file, this is an invalid custom action file.

I know that I can write an installer class, but is there an easy way to do this simple action?
