Comment(by Phyx):

 Isn't a simple solution to never let Setup delete it's own exe? Worse case
 if using the setup script clean leaves an exe, if cabal was used it can
 remove the exe left behind.

 If it's a big deal to not leave anything at all the hackish way around it
 would be to inject some shellscript into a running program like explorer
 and have it delete the exe.
