Display a message that says "Performing retinal scan..." for 6 seconds, with an exclamation mark icon on the dialog to make it seem even more important. (This message is most effective if, first, you tell the user to stare into the monitor and DON'T BLINK.)

-- Show the installer window.
Window.Show(handle);

Hides the installation window while displaying a timed dialog message. Once the timed dialog has elapsed, the installer window is shown again.
