spawnProcess() not child?

[Bauss via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Is there a way to spawn a process that won't be a child process, 
because I can't seem to kill any processes created with 
spawnProcess() It keeps giving me access denied for the processes 
and it's necessary for me to kill a process, compile it and then 
spawn it again.

Currently what I do is save the pid of the spawned process and 
then call kill() using that pid then calling dmd which compiles 
it again, but after first compilation and spawning of the process 
I cannot do it again unless I restart the process that's handling 
the compilation etc. so I would like to have the process that 
updates to be a seperate process from the compiled process.

This is my code.
void end() {
        if (lastPid)
                kill(lastPid);
}

void clear() {
        if (exists(processFolder)) {
                foreach (string name;
                        dirEntries(processFolder, SpanMode.depth)) {
                        remove(name);
                }
                rmdir(processFolder);
        }
}

void compile() {
        if (lastPid)
                end();
        clear();
        
        string[] cmd = ["dmd.exe", "-of" ~ processFile, "-m32"];
        foreach (string e; dirEntries(srcFolder, SpanMode.depth))
                cmd ~= e;
                
        auto pid = spawnProcess(cmd);
        wait(pid);
        
        lastPid = spawnProcess(processFile);
}

Then I call compile() for everytime I need to update.

I have been looking through various code in the documents and 
google etc. but I cannot seem to achieve what I want. Is there no 
simple way to create a process that isn't associated with any 
processes using spawnProcess?
