Hi Dan.

>I like the idea of having the launcher use ShellExecute to load a copier EXE with elevated privileges. Unfortunately, ShellExecute runs asychronously so you don't know when the copier EXE has completed. Any thoughts on how to overcome that limitation?

In my case, I use QUIT immediately after ShellExecute because the updater program may be overwriting the launcher program. Once the updater has done its job, it restarts the launcher program.
