Restart Delphi Application Programmatically

Question

It should not be possible to run multiple instances of my application. Therefore the project source contains:

CreateMutex (nil, False, PChar (ID));
if (GetLastEr         


        

Answer 1

Why can't you just release the mutex before attempting to restart? If by some chance another instance gets going before the one you explicitly invoke with the restart that doesn't matter, you'll still have your app up and running again with whatever changes effected that required the restart. I don't think you need any of the complexity of the other solutions.
