LaunchFile is used as an identifier. It means nothing outside the context of that package. It could be called Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for all the difference it would make. That code defines a Type 2 Custom Action & if you look down the page to the next paragraph you'll see where it is sequenced in the InstallExecuteSequence using that Identifier.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] LaunchFile is a standard custom action? Hi Palbinder, Thanks for the info, I noticed that article before. That one is easy to understand. my question is, from this tutorial: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php following solution also works, as I verified: <*CustomAction* Id='LaunchFile' FileKey='FoobarEXE' ExeCommand='' Return='asyncNoWait' /> but I don't know how. Is this LaunchFile CA is windows installer predefined CA? thanks, William L.
