oth, I think if the install renames the target file first, then creates the new .exe with the correct name, that will work.
I'm not sure if you can delete a renamed .exe that's still in-use.
Even if you could, the rename isn't going to work on older (non-NT) versions of Windows, and even on newer versions I gather that renaming an in-use .exe is harder than it sounds. Maybe what I need is a way to build an executable that doesn't need to keep its .exe open, or perhaps use a .com launcher instead. :)
