<div>
If you really have to delete the .exe you will have to use a killer .exe shipped with the app, maybe cat'ed to the first one and then dinamically written to a file by your app if you know how to do this. Your app will then execute the killer and exit itself. The killer will wait till the app is shut down and then delete the exe.<br />

I used to do stuff like this in high school. Great fun trying to write incrackable copy protection, etc ...<br />
