I offer this is the spirit of play. It is not a serious problem.

Lets say you had a PAD file that among other things included the
zipped size of the distributable inside it in ASCII bytes.  But the
PAD file itself is inside the distributable.

In the worst case, how many times must you adjust the size in the PAD
and rezip with java.util.zip if you want to be 100% sure it is bang on
accurate?

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to 
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
