Description

I know this has been discussed in the past but I am curious if windows-installer has/can provide a customization to make the loadingGif show immediately? I have gotten reports that some of my users click the installer several times because they don't think anything is happening. On my Windows system which is pretty beefy I notice the same issue... it takes a few seconds to show the installer Gif and I always wonder whether I properly double clicked my setup.exe or not.

I see here that `electron-builder` removed the delay in a fork of squirrel: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/374#issuecomment-221329649

I am wondering if this is something `windows-installer` would consider? Thanks!
