visual studio .net general: I think console projects are good enough in most case, as you won't want a
lot of interaction for a program runs during logon.

There's lots of way to get a program runs, ranging from putting the program
shortcut in startup folder to writing a logon script, depending on your
situation.

What kind of project do you create in VS .NET and C# to get an installed
program to run on startup/login?
Is there sample code for this function?

Hi,

I agree with Lau Lei's suggestion, the usual convention to invoke a
program(such as the installer in your case) in the System's start-up time
is used login script, the following links have some useful information
about it:
