Add Installer Class to your development

namespace CLT
{
    [RunInstaller(true)]
    public partial class ClientInstall : Installer
    {
        public ClientInstall()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public override void Install(IDictionary stateSaver)
        {
                base.Install(stateSaver);
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"\Powerpoint.exe");
        }
}

And remember to add Custom actions to your setup
