3). Save the state of your console app, create process to external program and terminate. External program copies app and then starts it back up, restore console app state.

System.IO.File.Copy(
@"C:\Users\Dave\Documents\Visual Studio 10\Projects\TestSolution\TestSolution\bin\Debug\TestSolution.exe",
@"C:\Users\Dave\Documents\Visual Studio 10\Projects\TestSolution\TestSolution\bin\Debug\TestSolution2.exe");

System.IO.File.Copy("this.Executable", "destination");

But the thing is that even if I assure this peice of code to my application, it would work fine for me but not in other's system (I mean client's machine).

string thisPath;
thisPath = System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath;

// OR

thisPath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;
