      There are extra dialogs you can add to the user interface (right click Start
      in the user interface view, Add Dialog) so you'll probably need to work
      within the constraints of those dialogs if you want to stay with VS. There
      are other tools for this kind of thing, MsiLaunch for launching programs,
      Red-Gate do SQL deployment stuff, and there are a bunch of other tools here
      that let you do much more than VS setups let you do:
      Help and assistance in setup development with Windows Installer and InstallShield. Free script code downloads, merge modules, tips and tricks, discussion boards, tools and services.
