Question

I am trying to get the location of an Executable running in memory using Application.ExecutablePath and delete it from its current location, however i get the error The system cannot find the file specified.

As far as my understanding goes it is because of the space in the path. How do i fix this problem? Here is the relevant code:

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = @"cmd.exe /C Del " + Path.GetFullPath(Application.ExecutablePath);
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();

I tend to prefer String.Format over simple string concats:

psi.FileName = string.Format("cmd.exe /C Del \"{0}\"",
                              Path.GetFullPath(Application.ExecutablePath));

Otherwise, I believe this should work as well:

psi.FileName = @"cmd.exe /C Del """ + Path.GetFullPath(Application.ExecutablePath) + """";
