Autohotkey doesn't start until after unzip

I thought I would add a Loading... splash for games that LB has to unzip with 7z.exe. I created an ahk script for an emulator that would show this until 7z.exe stops running.

It doesn't work because the ahk script isn't triggered until AFTER LB unzips the game file :(

I guess that would have messed with Bigbox also (it's not needed with BB) if it had worked for regular LB.

Any ideas?

Ok, I found one solution, but I don't really like it. It does work though.

I just run the ahk script all the time in an infinite loop, outside of Launchbox. I had to install autohotkey to run an ahk script file on its own.

If it ever detects 7z.exe running it will throw up "Loading..." and when 7z.exe stops, the Loading... splash goes away.
