Description
Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the 6u14 b05 iftw.exe
2. When you see the Welcome Dialog, run the 6u14 b05 iftw.exe again

Behavior:  Pops a dialog "Unable to uncompress file"
Expected behavior: It should say something like "You already have a 6u14 install running".  We need to run this by UE. 

The reason this is happening is because the first installer is locking/using the msi file, and the 2nd install is trying to download it.

Comments
EVALUATION The issue has been changed after the installer dialogs created using the ATL. Now, the welcome dialog can be launched multiple times. The fix should be not to allow multiple installer welcome dialogs to be launched at the same time.

PUBLIC COMMENTS I cannot reproduce this with 6u14 b08, 6u05, 6u30 and 6u31. Could you introduce more detail on how to reproduce it?

EVALUATION The solution here is to make iftw a singleton.
