Hi Mike,

On Mac, you're not supposed to start an application automatically after downlaod. It is a security violation. On windows, you can do this, unfortunately. Your closest bet would be to create a disk image. You could even set the background of such an image to a picture wiith instructions about installing or starting the application.

Is this application really just a registration window? Perhaps you should forget about LiveCode for once and make a simple website with a web form?
