Correct me if i am wrong.
Not only can you VO Code without a launcher, its recommended that you don't VO Code with a launcher.

Esys is the primary vendor supported tool for coding BMW's. Not esys-x, not Launcher Pro, and not Bimmer code etc. The only reason we use 3rd party tools like LP and esysx is because esys requires a certificate AND also now requires a mapping dataset, when FDL coding. So, whenever you can take the 3rd party out of the equation, it makes sense to do so.

As it happens, esys-x actually offers additional useful capabilities beyond standard coding in esys, but these aren't critical to core coding capability.
