Eric --
I reconstructed a program, which updates a release through Internet.
To be able to replace itself, "updater" creates and restarts own copy.
In WM_INITDIALOG "updater"
1. Tests name of exe and restarts, if necessary (should be absolutelly invisible).
2. Retrieves some settings from regisry, calculates CRC of files to compare then with description on Web-server.
Enough long - on my PC - about 2-3 sec, but on customers PCes could be up to 10 sec.
During this time I plan to show independent "Welcome".
Of course, I can do all before Dialog Show, but I don't like to have global variables or to retrieve something again.
