I'd suggest to try any of these:
1) Instead on FormClose try to post a message as the last thing in
OnFormDestroy
2) Make sure you do use PostMEssage not SendMessage
3) Instead of ShellExecute try to use CreateProcess (with properly released
process and thread handles immidiately after loading the application)
