On windows XP-SP1 we see with
code:
AppLaunched=wkix32.exe
PostInstallCmd=wkix32.exe winstall.kix
we see also a kixtart help window on our screen.
This was is generated by the AppLaunched specification.
The installation completes in a normal way for the rest.
After changing it to
code:
AppLaunched=kix32.exe
PostInstallCmd=wkix32.exe winstall.kix
FILE0="winstall.kix"
FILE1="kix32.exe"
FILE2="kx16.dll"
FILE3="kx32.dll"
FILE4="kx95.dll"
FILE5="wkix32.exe"
FILE6="wstart1.kix"
FILE7="wstart2.kix"
we doesn't see any problem. Also the package will automatically
executed kix32.exe /? based on AppLaunched specification,
but window isn't opening on your screen and process is terminating
in a normal way.
The control file contains
code:

With specification of dummy program we can reduce our installation
package with about 30 KB.
With
code:
AppLaunched=dummy.exe
PostInstallCmd=wkix32.exe winstall.kix
FILE0="winstall.kix"
FILE1="dummy.exe"

FILE3="kx32.dll"

FILE5="wkix32.exe"
FILE6="wstart1.kix"
FILE7="wstart2.kix"
we doesn't see any problem. Also the package will automatically
executed dummy.exe based on AppLaunched specification,
but for a very short time a DOS window shows up.
