>This fellow is using a "loader" / "launcher" to pull a new exe from an ftp server to a server on his LAN. Then he has the users sharing access to this one exe. The loader should be directing the exe to the users' PCs. This will let him update the exe on the server any time he wants. It will let the users finish whatever they are doing and get the update when they are ready and it will reduce network traffic and give the users a performance boost.

Yep, I was going to suggest Loader and even search for this in Downloads section (AFAIK by John Koziol), but I can not do more than 10 things at once at the same time.

Right now I need to work on some ASP.NET project + try to install subversion to prove my colleague that it may work on Windows and not necessary on Apache.
