In the launchers, the labels 'NoProgramEXE' and 'WarnAnotherInstance' end with 'Abort'. OK, but why don't they 'Goto TheEnd' instead and unload the plugins/clean the TEMP directory etc. while they're at it? It would seem much more sensible and I can't see any problem.
Is there something I'm missing here that would make this inadvisable?

You only need those if you've already shown the splash. Which I don't think you usually do before you've check to make sure everything is there.

I haven't actually tested it thoroughly, but on this thought I took a look at launchers. The plugins are automatically unloaded unless
/NOUNLOADis put to them, which is only done with newadvsplash, and the launcher won't Abort after that, so to the best of my knowledge, all the stuff will "always" (crashes excepted) be cleaned up.Is this not your experience?

If it aborts after WarnAnotherInstance and it's using the registry it'll leave the DLL in a folder in TEMP. That's what I'm finding here.
I re-compiled with Goto TheEnd and it cleaned up (as ${registry::Unload} is at the end, obviously). I can switch back and forth while watching the TEMP directory and it happens every time. Is it just the registry plugin? I haven't been through all the launchers
I'm not sure about apps in general, but for the Universal Launcher it'll be fine (CPALT5 is fine with it, no abort after a ${registry::*} command).

There aren't any aborts after a registry command (generally) in the current launchers either. I'm guessing the plugin has to be unloaded manually (?) hence it's appearance at TheEnd, which won't happen if it aborts anytime before then.
Anyway, just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone could confirm (or otherwise) for sure.
