LaunchBuilder creates executables that can launch other executables with their command-line arguments. While creating the executable with LaunchBuilder, you can specify the command-line arguments that should be passed to the executable that should be launched. When the compiled executable is executed, it passes these arguments to the executable.

Besides launching executables, LaunchBuilder can create executables that perform a host of other functions. See Remarks for more details.
