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.

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.
