Subject: [PATCH] fix(desktop-update): drop the dead WinForms pump from the ack
 wait

Publish-UiEvent only enters the delivery-wait loop under $script:UiServer,
and Show-ProgressWindow returns before the WinForms card is built whenever
the browser shim is up, so $script:Ui is always null there. The DoEvents
call could never run; the 50ms sleep loop is the whole wait.
