You could be sneaky and replace the exe with a loader of the same name that pulls the most current EXE to their machine and starts it.

That's basically the way my larger VFP apps worked. I had a build process that gave each build a unique name and dumped it into a production folder. I had a loader EXE that grabbed the latest EXE from the production folder to the user's PC and ran it.

That way you could make a new build w/o tossing users. Users would get the new build when they restarted the application.

Running locally made a serious performance difference.
