C# cannot delete dll files with a new process

Question

let's say there are two executable files, Exe1 and Exe2. i ran Exe1 and in Exe1 i called

    Process.Start(info);

to start Exe2 and then call

    Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();

to kill Exe1, once Exe2 was started i want to delete the Exe1 file and replace Exe1 with a new version Exe1, but when i call File.Delete an exception was thrown tell me access is denied. can someone give me some ideas how to delete Exe1 file without exception? thanks

At a guess, the old application hasn't finished running at the point where you try to replace it. — ProgrammingLlama, Aug 08 '18 at 08:08
