The short answer is yes. But the last time I needed to do this, I didn't have time to figure it out.

I'm looking forward to good advice on this one.

I have another method to achieve the same goal: I put the initialization in another .exe file.The first time i run my app,decide if the initialization exe exists,if so ,create a process and after finishing initialization,delete it.

There is a another way to achieve this...You can write a dll and execute it during installation, But be sure that you need to start this process before Installation begin method (I am considering InstallShield here, not sure about the VS 2008 setup).
