Answer 1

I suggest you use a batch file as a bootstrap and have it delete itself and the exe afterwards

public static class Updater
{
    public static void Main() 
    {   
        string path = @"updater.bat";

        if (!File.Exists(path)) 
        {
            // Create a file to write to.
            using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path)) 
            {
                sw.WriteLine("updater.exe");
                sw.WriteLine("delete updater.exe /y");
                sw.WriteLine("delete updater.bat /y");
            } 

            System.Process.Start(path);   
        }
        else
        {
            RunUpdateProcess();
        }
    }

    private void RunUpdateProcess()
    {
        .....
    }
}
