I don't see anything in that doc page about where to put a branded launcher.
A launcher "acmeproduct.exe" will do the following by default:
1) Find the "acmeproduct.ini" file located in the same directory with
the executable.
2) Find the launcher shared library, locate in the platform specific
fragmet (ie
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.100.v200805 09-1800/eclipse_1114.dll).
By default, the launcher looks for a plugins folder beside the
executable and finds the fragment in there. If the fragment is located
somewhere else, you must add a --launcher.library argument to the .ini file.
3) Find the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher jar located in the plugins
folder. As with (2), the plugins folder is expected to be beside the
executable, if it isn't, you must specify the launcher jar with the
-startup argument in the .ini file.
If you want to put the acmeproduct.exe in the parent folder, then you
need an acmeproduct.ini with the appropriate entries:
acme/acmeproduct.exe
/acmeproduct.ini
/eclipse/plugins

As a side note, since the acmeproduct.exe is just a rebranded
eclipse.exe, I'm not sure there is any need to ship the eclipse.exe
under the eclipse directory. (The only case I can think of to keep it
would have been exporting product from your acmeproduct, but I think
this was fixed with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=205833).

Thanks for the reply Andrew, I got it working.
Sorry for posting the wrong link, the one I intended was the title I
mentioned but the link is
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/eclipse-install.html
After digesting your reply I think the link above should state:
After installing all files, the top-level structure of the install
directory would contain the following files and subdirectories (and
perhaps others):
<install>/
acmeproduct.exe
acmeproduct.ini (this is not mentioned in the 3.4 doc)
eclipse/
.eclipseproduct
eclipse.exe
features/
plugins/
jre/
where acmeproduct.ini should contain references to the path to the
installed versions of the equinox launcher plugin and fragment as follows
(and perhaps other settings):
--launcher.library
<install> /eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x8 6_x.y.z.qualifier
-startup
<install> /eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_x.y.z.qualifie r.jar
thanks again,
Tim
