I am using Visual Studio 2010, I am working on a windows application and while trying to make an automatic updater for it faced a serious problem.

When the program find a new version and trying to install it, it couldn’t because of two reasons:

1– the application is exist in my program files. so that window appears

2– the application is already opened “the form that performed the update process“.

The problem doesn’t have any relation with the version number.

It’s about the program existence and the ability to install a new version although the previous version is opened.
