/*++ Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation Module Name: WinExecRaceConditionFix.cpp Abstract: This Shim uses the command line parameter to indicate how it works: If passed 'nowait', it enables the WinExec functionality: The WinExec in this DLL is identical to the actual WinExec API but without the WaitForUserinputIdleRoutine, which inverts an almost race condition between the launcher and the launchee. 9x does not have this wait, so the programmers were able to (possibly inadvertently) use the same window class exclusion matching for both since, in 9x, the launcher kills itself before the launchee can check for a duplicate window. This shim leaves out the wait condition, allowing 9x like behavior. If passed a number, it sleeps in initialization for that number of microseconds. Notes: This shim has no app specific information.
