How about using DmCreateDatabaseFromImage to create the application to be run from a
resource in your "main" application? Rather than worrying about forcing control back
to the main app, you could have your main app simply delete the last app it "unpacked"
before unpacking the next one and running it. The unpacked app (there can be only one)
could be hidden so it wouldn't appear in the launcher. Just some ideas.
