VB.Net Self Deletion after 5 days

Question

Im have to execute the following code.

Dim Info As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()
Info.Arguments = "/C ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 3000 > Nul & Del """ & Application.ExecutablePath.ToString & """"    
Info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
Info.CreateNoWindow = True
Info.FileName = "cmd.exe"
Process.Start(Info)`

The code will delete the file on execution. How can I code my program so the function is called 5 days after first execution.

Thanks in advance.

but is there a way to code the program so it keeps track of the date of first execution? — Ali Haider, Nov 18 '14 at 07:17
