self deleting executable

[danraymond]

I want to make an executable so it deletes itself from disk after a specified number of runs (its a demo).

scenario:
1. exe runs say 50 times
2. end of 50th run exe deletes itself after throwing up "expired" message
3. counter is hidden internally in the exe not in registry etc.
any help??? please
