B4J Code Snippet The B4J UI program restarts itself

This is a piece of code that restarts the UI program itself, thanks to the help of the community, I will now organize and publish it. This is useful in scenarios where the program needs to be updated and restarts automatically.
Use: Modify the code of the highlighted line.
Note: I only tested the Windows UI program packaged into a standalone package

Main Form:
#Region Project Attributes
    #MainFormWidth: 900
    #MainFormHeight: 600
    #PackagerProperty: ExeName = zz
#End Region

B4XMainPage:
Private Sub Button1_Click
    RestartSelf("zz.exe")
End Sub

Private Sub RestartSelf(exeName As String)
    Dim exePath As String=File.Combine(File.GetFileParent(File.DirApp), exeName)
    Dim shell As Shell
    shell.Initialize("",exePath,Null)
    shell.run(-1) 'Run exe
    Sleep(0) 'important
    ExitApplication 'Exit exe
End Sub
