I would assume that you are launching your app from a custom action, which is triggered through a property bound to the checkbox. If that is the case, you can try specifying that property as a command line argument to setup.exe. Say, if your custom action is bound to the MSI property LAUNCH_NEW_VERSION, you can call setup.exe like this:

setup.exe /q LAUNCH_NEW_VERSION=1

The standard setup bootstrapper should pass that property/value to the MSI engine. If it doesn't, you might consider invoking the .msi directly instead of calling the bootstrapper exe to run your installer.
