[DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files

[Leigh Wanstead]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually application a.exe download and update application b.exe from
internet and launch b.exe and close a.exe itself and b.exe update a.exe and
continue to run.

You see that make the issue complex and I just use two splash screen in both
a.exe and b.exe to minimize the code.

or,

A opens B, then sits and waits until...

FindWindow('MyForm', nil) <> 0

...then closes. FindWindow is in the Wondows unit and tells you
whether a window is open or not. That way A starts up withthe splash
screen and sits there until it knows that B has loaded and is
displaying it's 'MyForm', then A closes, leaving B to it.
