If this is happening inside the MSI then it will be a custom action,
assuming the button in the UI is beiong called from the MSI install.
LaunchApp is one of those supplied InstallShield functions, yes? Is "the
UI" the UI in the MSI ?

I don't run it as a custom action, i have added button in a UI which
calls "LaunchApp" method to launch the setup.
I downloaded SP1 exe, extracted it. And using it for launching from
installer. Anything u think im missing?
