OK,
you need to defer the expansion of the ranOK variable.
Change the code like this:

Code:
exec /bin/sh -c "trap '' 1
  ( set -x
  $LaunchPadBrowser -nosplash -safe-mode -P $LaunchPadProfileName -profile $userprefpath $LaunchPadURL )
  if [ -f $userprefpath/history.dat ]; then
    ranOK=Yes
  else
    ranOK=No
  fi
  \cd ..
  rm -rf $TMPDIR
  if [ \$ranOK = No ]; then
    $installsourcepath/NoBrowser.sh
    exit 2
  fi"
