May I ask what do you intend to do?
Windows won't let you delete a file which is in use. The executable is in use while running the program. What you can do is to delete it from another process or mark it to be deleted upon next Windows startup.

It sounds like you are working on a "intruder" application : )
good luck.
wysotaQt allows you to use everything you want

nope not intruder application..
Im creating a utility which is design to run once cause if it runs again it may cause problems, It is design to delete some data, to fixed problem on first run but on the second and so on it will be the cause of bigger problems..
my solution until this time is I created a "deleter" to delete the application after running..
