LaunchTarget could fail because working folder could be changed even when launching a full path exe, etc. Because the launched target could depend in some local config file etc.

The working dir could not be always current dir on launching a target. So, why not add another variable like:

<WixVariable Name="LaunchWorkingFolder"... />
Optional. The address of a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the working directory. If this member is NULL, the current directory is used as the working directory.

"We are failing to execute a wizard after install because it depends on a
find files in the path, and the ShellExecuteEx cannot guarantee per si the
last current folder set."
Unless you set as a parameter when call ShellExecuteEx .

The feature request is "Open" so it is available for someone to implement. Also, since this issue is "Open" I would assume no one has done so.
