You have to create a custom action to do this.

You have to create a custom action to do this.  You essentially create a DLL
that has classes and methods in it that are marked with attributes to let the
installer know that they are custom actions.  You can then configure the
installer to run the methods at certain points in the install process.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/d9k65z2d(VS.80).aspx is a sample that tells
you how to create a custom action to direct a user to a website after
installation.  You can change the sample to create the tables instead of
doing the webpage thing.
