Uninstallers face a similar issue, since they need to delete an app
but of course an app can't delete itself.
Their approach may work for your circumstance as well:
An uninstaller commonly copies itself to the local temp directory
and then launches that copy to do the deed.
With Rev 2.9 you can now get the temp folder on all three platforms
with:
get specialFolderPath("temporary")
Temp directories are automatically cleared out by the system
periodically (often on restart), so while it does mean another copy
of an app somewhere it's not one that will live for long after it's
needed.
