Public Class Form1

    Private updaterModulePath As String

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim thread As Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf StartSilent))
        thread.Start()

        REM Compute the updater.exe path relative to the application main module path
        updaterModulePath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "updater.exe")
    End Sub

        Thread.Sleep(10000)
        Dim proc As Process = Process.Start(updaterModulePath, "/silent")
        proc.Close()
    End Sub

    REM This handler should be associated with a menu item that launches the
    REM updater's configuration dialog.

    REM updater in check now mode (usually from  Help submenu)
