It seems to work only if my launcher application is started from an explorer window, but not if I start it from the run dialog (Win+R) or an alternative file manager. Unfortunately there is no HWND parameter to pass the parent window like in the global ShellExecute function. Do you know a way around this?

That's genius. Scary-ass complicated, but genius. Now all that's needed is to package this up in a Wix installer extension, and Bob's yer uncle. Oh, and any idea on version compatibility? Nice one.
