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.
