This is the solution I'm using in a PPC application. The application check
for an update in a website, if one exist it downloads it. It's usually a
couple of files zipped. after unzipping them in a temp folder I execute the
real "updater app" and as a parameter I pass the process ID of the calling
(the app being updated). The updater terminate the calling process and then
just go on and copy the new .exe (it was downloaded too) to the correct
location. Finally execute it.
