Is there any way I can request permissions, or start the exe that is stored and have it delete on close after launching it? I'm trying to make the updater as clean as possible, in case for some reason the calling executable cannot start again, the updater will be cleaned up regardless.

The simple way would be to have your current program wait for Updater.exe to finish, then delete it:
var process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "Updater.exe";
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
System.IO.File.Delete("Updater.exe");
The documentation for CreateFile
clearly states that FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE
requires FILE_SHARE_DELETE
, a requirement that you code does not heed.
However, even if you do heed that requirement, your code will still fail. That's because when creating a process the loader requests exclusive access to the file. Which is not compatible with FILE_SHARE_DELETE
.
You will have to give up on this endeavour. Save the file to disk in a temporary location. Execute the update process. Wait for it to complete. Delete the file. No p/invoke necessary.
