spawnProcess() not child?

[Bauss via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Is there a way to spawn a process that won't be a child process, 
because I can't seem to kill any processes created with 
spawnProcess() It keeps giving me access denied for the processes 
and it's necessary for me to kill a process, compile it and then 
spawn it again.

Currently what I do is save the pid of the spawned process and 
then call kill() using that pid then calling dmd which compiles 
it again, but after first compilation and spawning of the process 
I cannot do it again unless I restart the process that's handling 
the compilation etc. so I would like to have the process that 
updates to be a seperate process from the compiled process.

This is my code.
void end() {
	if (lastPid)
		kill(lastPid);
}

void clear() {
	if (exists(processFolder)) {
		foreach (string name;
			dirEntries(processFolder, SpanMode.depth)) {
			remove(name);
		}
		rmdir(processFolder);
	}
}

void compile() {
	if (lastPid)
		end();
	clear();
	
	string[] cmd = ["dmd.exe", "-of" ~ processFile, "-m32"];
	foreach (string e; dirEntries(srcFolder, SpanMode.depth))
		cmd ~= e;
		
	auto pid = spawnProcess(cmd);
	wait(pid);
	
	lastPid = spawnProcess(processFile);
}

Then I call compile() for everytime I need to update.

I have been looking through various code in the documents and 
google etc. but I cannot seem to achieve what I want. Is there no 
simple way to create a process that isn't associated with any 
processes using spawnProcess?
