Kill and restart the same application through code

[helloitsme]

Hi!

For a certain requirement, I need to kill the current application and restart the same application again. For that, I have the follofing code in the form-closing event of the application -

If myflag = false Then 
   Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
   p.FileName = """" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\" &   My.Application.Info.AssemblyName & ".exe" & """"
   p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
   p.Verb = "open"
   p.UseShellExecute = True
   Dim myprocess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
   Me.Dispose()
   myprocess.Start(p)
   myprocess.WaitForExit()
 
End If

this does work as required, but every time the application reopens, an error message also appears saying - "myapplication.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost."

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you ...

Maybe when the application reopens myflag is (still) set to false?
