Delete a program that is running

[Luiz]

I have a program X1 that is running and it is in c:\A\X1.exe
X1 verify that exists a newer version in c:\B\X1.exe

X1(old) must delete himself from X1, move X1 from folder B to folder A, start newer X1 again and finally unload himself.

The idea is a program that verify on load that exist a newer version of him and before any form appear for user, make that change.

The problem is delete a program form disc that is running. There is
a way to do that ?

Thank you for any help !!!

No, you can't delete a running EXE. You'd have to make a 3rd party application to scan for the newer version.

Nope! Can't do it...a program cant delete itself...(that I know of )

you could do what i did once..had a mini app that when it was run it would wait 5 or 6 seconds...(till the calling app quits)..then copy the new one in.
Or delete then move etc....
