Delete a file that has been executed

[mabrin]

Hi,

is it possible that a started programme can delete its own file? I need this for a very small uninstall programme...

Thanks,

mabrin

I don't think that you can delete an open file. In order to do this you have to start the second app, which will wait for the end of the execution of the first and then delete it.

Another thought is to copy the program to the Windows Temporary folder and execute it from there. Eventually it will be discardedby the system.
