You use deployment tool to start you application or batch file to start your application. To place your application in system tray you need to program your application such that when it starts it places itself in the system tray. Here is the link where you can find information on writing the code.

Are you looking for how to START the application after it's installed?

Whether or not the application runs as a standard task bar button or in the task tray, starting it up after installation is a matter of configuring the installation builder.
