The only one way I can launch a inheritable project in a client is from the designer application in tools\>launch.  
Since the client machine should not need the designer, is there a practical way to launch a parent project like a child project would be from the visual client application?

I think the intention for inheritable projects is that they’re not able to be launched themselves, but are rather projects that contain only common components that will be used by top level projects

Huh. That you can launch it from the designer is a bug. They aren’t supposed to be launchable at all.

thanks @pturmel. I think it was actually a bug because after a PC restart. I can’t launch the inheritable anymore.
