If you mean that you want an executing program to delete itself, I doubt that's possible since the Exe file would be open. But why don't you try using the Kill statement, and see what happens?

I used Kill, File System object

even I used everything, I got message like "Permission denied"

Afterwards what i did

create another .exe from this application and close old .exe
with use of shell command
then Delete that old .exe from new .exe
woking fine..

but I faced some problem

1) new .exe is visible

2) Immediately we can't delete old .exe, i think needs some time

so i need solution

Hello,
Do this.

Make two exes one in invisible mode or made it with a label captioned Processing.
Now when ever you click the button in main exe main exe will closed or terminated and exe2 will executed.
On formload event of exe2 write the code for deleting the main exe file.
Now you will not find any error.
Or some thing else

GOODLUCK

I removed the .zip attachment. Unaware users might harm their computer by
accidentally running the .exe files in that zip. Next time better just post the
source code in your reply.

How dangerous were they? If one of them runs the other, which then deletes the first one, it doesn't sound too risky.

Is it unsecure code?
It just deletesitself neither the other exes So it doesnot create panicn for users.

Deleting zip is a bad idea
