How do I configure the setup project

Question

I have a Vb.NET project and I've attached a setup project for it. I need to accomplish three things:

1. Copy a separate text file into the installation directory, directly from where the setup.exe is launched from. This is important because this file has to be configurable after the setup packet has been done.

2. The executable file will be in a subfolder. How do I automatically launch the exe AFTER the installation is complete (not during it!). I've already tried a script that works only when the execuatble is directly in the Application Folder.

3. How do I launch an executable file directly from where the setup.exe is launched from AFTER the installation? This exe shouldn't be copied to the installation directory.

I have tried multiple solutions and tips but nothing works. How could I do these things?

What I have tried:

Everything I know in visual studio and what google offers.
