- Maybe this registry key will give you a hint:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce2) I don't know how you want to use it from your c# application, but "yes" you can launch a c# application via RunOnce. 3) Why do you need to have a self destructing batch file? Maybe you could let some other part of your app delete the file. 4) Don't know. 5) Please provide more info. I have no clue where you could/should/would place your bat file and I'm even more clueless of when to execute it from your app..

1)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce how to invoke this? or call this? or execute this key? 2)can we uninstall a setup created for a c# windows application on shutdown of system using RunOnce.

You don't have a clue what the registry is or how it works, do you? You cannot "invoke" that key, or "execute" anything in the registry any time you want. All the registry is is a hierarchical database of information. There is nothing "executable" in it at all. The RunOnce key is just a list of command lines that Windows executes on startup.

Since RunOnce command lines only get execute when Windows starts, no.

Yeah, but someone has to step in it. Don't worry, I brought a stick to scrape the stuff off my shoes.

How do you know about it ? Because you can't execute a registry key. You obviously have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.
