Does Launch Root actor VI in LabVIEW 2014 replaces Lauch actor? If not when to use one over the other? Similarly what is the screnario to launch nested Actor? Don't beleive Lauch Nested Actor VI is same as Read Self enqueuer.

The new design is supposed to make it simpler to launch actors. Before, you had to create or get an enqueuer and pass it to the launcher and there was a lot of confusion about how to do it correctly. Now, you basically have two cases:
The basic concept of this design is that each actor creates an enqueuer when it's launched and that if A launches B, then B has A's enqueuer, so it can report back to it.
Also, I believe that an actor now collects the enqueuers of all the nested actors it launches, so that it can send a stop command to all of them when it terminates.
