You can't. Due to security reasons.

You can run a certain process while first launch of the application though.
Simplest would be by reading a preference and triggering that mechanism when preference value is not set.

take a look there. You need to create a preference value, that is "false" by definition and will be set after the application has done it's first startup (and of course the additional things).
