Close current application & start another one

I would like to close my running application and programmatically start an updater which will update the above application. When the update process completes, the updater should close and the application should run again. What should I do

.NET Development16

you could try this:

To exit the application:

Application.Exit();

to kick start another process:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Run("path\filename.ext");

this would apply for both apps, your current app and the updater. Does this help

Have you looked at using ClickOnce to deploy your application It automatically does what you describe.
