Sure, from within A, you use exec() c function or other win32 API to start
B. Then in A, keep checking if B process running. If yes, exit itself. Or
better from B, send a Windows message to signal A to terminate itself.
Actually, since A starts B while A still running, why not just start B and A
quit itself? Isn't that what you asked for or I mis-read something?
